The lockdown is over now. It started in the winter and that is when the majority of reduction from the peak occurred. The temperature did not hit 30 degrees at any point before we had a day with zero cases.

So the point is that there is a clear relation to spring and summer occurring and cases dropping.

Our best R0 was in August, very much in winter. I'm sure weather makes a difference, but it's in the noise compared to measures taken under the lockdown.

If you think there's a "clear" relation it makes me think you're not following Australia at all.
