It all depends on where you are in terms of whether you get extreme temperatures, or a dry heat or sticky humid weather but with more regular lower temperatures. And of course the remote outback and desert areas have their own brand of heat.
For me it's the humidity rather than the actual temperature that's the killer. The east coast, especially Qld and NSW get a lot of humidity in summer. I've lived for many years in both states at times. Living back in Qld the past year, it's humid AF, a lot of summer storms lately! The average temperature lately, where I am (south east Qld) is 24-28,°C most days. So it's really not that hot in terms of temperature, it's fairly stable. So days will go into the 30-34 degrees but not lately.
We tend to only get the extreme hot temperatures ocaasionally, where it's into the 40s. But the humidity is definitely a regular thing up here. And that can make it feel hotter than it is sometimes.
Other parts of Qld up far north and also the west, definitely can get hotter more often though.
The heat in western Australia is more of a dry heat but they usually get hotter temperatures. Perth is 34 degrees tonight, where as Brisbane is 23...but it's humid.
We had a heatwave a couple years ago in Sydney, where we had a week of temperatures in the mid to high 40s. I think 46 was the highest it got in my area. But I lived close to the ocean so we had a breeze still.
