SUMMARY OCTOBER 2014
Overall, the month was both milder & wetter than the long-term average.
The mean maximum temperature at 12.6 was 0.7 degrees above normal,
the mean minimum temperature at 5.5 was also 0.7 degrees above normal.
The month's highest temperature was 17.2 on the 18th, while -1.0 on the 14th
proved to be the lowest---no records broken.
There were only 2 air frosts during the entire month, while on the early evening
of the 31st, the temperature rose to a surprisingly mild 16.3, certainly impressive for Halloween.
Rainfall at 153.2mms was 144% of average & the wettest October since 2006.
3 days between them accounted for nearly half of the total fall (5th/6th/27th), but all told, 25 days had measurable rainfall.
Incidentally, October this year had 15 times the amount of rain that fell in September!!
