Also, I haven't had dry skin since I have arrived in Brissie...humidity is good for the skin.

Sounds good, 2 month of less good weather is much better than 9 months of rain and coldness like in Holland.
Just wondering, do office buildings use airconditioning during the warmer seasons?
I live in Brisbane (moved from Huddersfield last year). I agree about the humidity being the big difference. However, I do not find it that bad unless it is over 65% and combined with say 30 degrees plus.......that doesn't happen more than a couple of months a year in brissie.
The advantage of the humidity is that it stays warm at night (disadvantage perhaps if it is very warm i.e. the two months) which is good because it makes the night much more usable - just as well as it gets dark early here.
In Brisbane you can often sit outside a cafe late at night wearing shorts and a T shirt. You wouldn't be able to do that if it wasn't humid.
Also, I haven't had dry skin since I have arrived in Brissie...humidity is good for the skin.
I think Brissie weather is a good trade....good weather for 10 months of the year.
I do find walking around midday in the summer sun a bit too strong though....you learn to stick to the shadows.
best regards,

BTW, winter in Brisbane has very very little rain, you get lovely clear blue skies for weeks on end to go with the 20-21 degree average temps. Dagboy says its very much like a nice english summer day, but a bit cooler in the evening.
