That sounds 'a bit brisk' to me.

brisk

(Of wind or the weather) cold but pleasantly invigorating:

 
  • A cold, brisk wind fills the square on a grey Saturday afternoon.
  • Though the wind was brisk and chilly, the sun was bright and warm.
  • The September night was chilly, with a brisk wind picking up, but neither seemed to notice.

Here in the UK it's often (though not always) used as a form of humorous understatement, for example on the coldest day of the year you might say "oooh, it's a bit brisk out, isn't it?" c.f. "Nice weather for ducks!"


If it's less cold than you expected then it's mild. As in, "we had a mild winter".

mild

(Of weather) moderately warm, especially less cold than expected:

 

Tropical continental air is very dry and tends to bring very warm weather during the summer and unseasonably mild weather during the winter.

 

Plants suffer most when warm / mild weather is suddenly replaced with cold.

 

October has come round again and the weather is still mild, with the cold snap we had last weekend coming as a shock.


It sounds reet parky!
