A reversal of temperatures

It was a cool day in Sydney today after the recent warm weather. Cold south and southwesterly winds blew for most of the day while showers affected parts of the city around midday. A maximum wind gust of 61km/h was recorded at the Airport along with 1.0mm of rain. Higher levels of rainfall were recorded elsewhere including 5.0mm at Observatory Hill and 7.6mm at Sydney Olympic Park.

The daily maximum actually came in the early hours of the morning with 19.9C. It was cooler during the day though, especially at 1pm when it was only 13.2C.

Scattered showers swept through Sydney around midday on October 3

Meanwhile in Jyväskylä it has gone above 10C for the first time since September 22. It won't happen too many more times this year. In fact, in the last 5 years it has never gone above 15C after September. It's kind of sad to think temperatures most probably won't climb above 15C again until April next year, 6 months away.

Overnight temperatures were much higher thanks to cloud cover last night. Today's current minimum of 5.1C is much warmer than the chilly -4.5C from early yesterday morning.
