Yes, the temps drop very rapidly in October. Little weak sun, shorter days, the jet stream shifts southwards and very unsettled as a whole.

16 Oct: 17°C
31 Oct: 14°C
15 Nov: 11°C

Drop is almost as large, just starting from a higher base. I think your have less of a winter lag, I still have big drops in November and December. Most of October is still decent and can be rather sunny here. By highs, we're still warmer than Irilinit until sometime in early November.

What do you mean with less of a lag? I think I have more than you. February is our coldest month, and December avg highs are at freezing.

Whoops assumed you were more similar to Britain, where December can tie or be the coldest month:

Edinburgh - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

But the drop from December to January for us is about 3°C, which looks somewhat higher than for you. So more lag, but the early winter change is still greater here.

The other day after arriving at work, a Huntsman spider the size of my palm decided to casually emerge from freaking nowhere and crawl across my driver side window (on the outside thank you jesus) Then it disappeared. Upon returning from work, My paranoia convinced me that this bugger was hiding under the door handle.....

After work, I was too chicken to reach for the handle, so I lit up the flashlight on my phone and actually tried to peer under it, contorting like a gymnast, and only then, open the bloody thing.

But if it's not under the handle, that means there is a freaking huge spider living somewhere in my car... which could potentially fall on my face while driving down the freeway

I was bitten by a juvenile bull ant while cleaning my pool one day. That was a sharp enough prick. I can't imagine a full-sized, pissed off speciman. Well, as a kid we were playing outside with some friends back in the day, one of my friends was stung by a full sized proper pissed off bull ant, she ran inside crying and screaming. I often come across their nests while on my walks, which look like Mt Kilimanjaro and like to shove sticks down 'em. The sight of dozens of huge venomous ants pouring out is a sight to behold lol. Once on a houseboat in Renmark I remember seeing a giant orange ant crawling along the deck towards me, this thing had to be a mutant, the thing was huge, bright orange, and I knew full well to get the hell away. Same trip we were swarmed by massive creepy-looking wasps with orange wings and black bodies one evening when we were having dinner outside. Googling it, they may have been Spider wasps or Tarantula hawks.

I've come across many 6 and 8 legged wild life while cleaning my pool, including Wolf Spiders, dozens of Redbacks, Black House Spiders on Steroids, huge armies of Pill Bugs, and the worst... I once found the remains of what looked like a Funnel Web spider floating in the pool.

I'm not even going to mention the Golden Orb Weaver civilisation I found in the woods at Yarra Bend Park while on my uni field days. FFS.

Never been stung by any of these satanic creatures before though, although I did fall victim to a blue bottle tentacle at Kangaroo Island when I was like 9. Yeah... Jelly Fish are evil. The entire population of these things need to die right now.
