October at Observatory Hill. A decent month, above average highs with slightly below average lows. Plenty of sunshine, but less than half the average amount of rain.
It was 1.9 degrees above normal here. Pretty average-ish I'd say. Am I going to feel something only 1.9 degrees varied from the average? Not really. At all.
I'm just hoping December isn't like 11 (10.8 technically) degrees above normal like it was last year. But it probably will be, because Jesus hates me.
Average high: 15.0c (-0.8c)
Mean temperature: 10.5c (0.0)
Average low: 6.0c (-0.2c)
Precipitation: 107.1 mm (+24.2 mm)
Precipitation days (>1 mm): 9
Sunshine: 89 hours (-35 hours)
Overall, a gloomy, rainy and pretty cold month. Even though it was this cold, its mean of 10.5c is exactly the same as the normal October mean temperature (even though I'm not sure how), so we technically didn't break our streak of 44 consecutive months at or above average
Odd month. Very warm and dry first half of the month. Was running 7F above average at one point. The second half was cold and very wet. Ended up 3.6 above average.

Overall, a cold, wet month with avg. sunshine. The best way to put it is that it felt like a second September. Even the PWS was a degree below average and that always records like 1-2°C over!

Your October was like a June in Sydney, albeit sunnier.
