October shows a large day-to-night temperature range: warm daytime highs follow much cooler overnight lows. A removable start layer can be useful even when a light racing outfit suits the warmer part of the day. Average daily highs are 28.5°C and overnight lows 12.0°C. Average precipitation totals about 57 mm over the whole month. Rain preparation is sensible, but the total does not give the chance or timing of rain during the race. These are historical regional averages, not a forecast or race-hour temperatures; the coast, hills and start line may differ.
