What's your perspective on its winters though?

Bump.

B-/C+

A bit too rainy and winter nights require heating. Otherwise it's quite nice.

This climate is a bit strange, since this suburb is not far from the sea and the altitude is barely 165m, but it still manages to get really cold winter nights, a lot colder than the coastline suburbs. Some thermal inversion there? I know Sydney has a dense industralized area, maybe this might be the reason?

A-. Gorgeous.

Summer highs are basically perfect. Summer lows are on the cool side but not bad. Winters are on the warm side with those highs but the lows are cold. Precipitation is decent although I'd prefer a bit more. Still, no climate in the real world is perfect, but this is pretty close. Overall it's nice and warm with a few cool months that add some variety. And it has decent precipitation and sunshine as well. It would be better with 2C or so taken off of the winters.
