I’m in Australia in one of the rare high elevation areas (very flat country, only just over 1km up) and I have had ice form on the inside of windows here multiple times a year. I’ve also had pipes freeze (though luckily not burst) and I’ve had trouble starting my car in the morning. That said, I’ve also had a ~28°C overnight minimum which was just awful, absolutely no relief there, so the extremes are fairly extreme here.
Our houses are generally designed with a fairly large overhang of the roof which in winter still lets sunlight in through the windows but in summer shades from about 9am to 4pm, giving you a significant reduction in heat getting in. We also have lots of air flow, much more than in other countries I’ve been to, so we tend to be a few degrees cooler than outside most of the time. That said, a week of over 30°C every day with night time minimums of at least 15°C, mostly 20°C, will drive you batty.
