Cape Town.

Hot and dry in Cape Town? You obviously haven't been to a really hot and dry place. I've been here 5 years and never seen the mercury go over 35 Celsius.
Or is it one of those Buddhist things?

It's relative, isn't it? 35 is plenty hot for me, thanks.

I found Namibia quite pleasant -- in winter.

I think the climate is more like Greece. Technically, it's a 'Mediterranean climate' (winter rainfall).

Temperature relatively high in summer but rarely above 35, very rainy winters... Are you sure you're not in Porto?

I've just discovered that an old schoolfriend of mine has been living on a farm somewhere in Portugal -- I may have to make use of this knowledge.
