Sydney Climate

Climate

Australian seasons are the complete reverse to those in the northern hemisphere. Their seasons are:

Spring - Sept to Nov | Summer - Dec to Feb | Autumn - Mar to May | Winter - Jun to Aug

Unlike other parts of Australia, Sydney never gets too hot or too cold. Go to the official Sydney weather page for the latest weather news. All hotels are air conditioned and so are the cars. Even the cheapest hire car has air conditioning so the heat shouldn't be a problem. NSW is a large state and the further south you go, the cooler it gets.

Visiting Sydney in winter shouldn't be much of a problem either. The temperature is often in the high 'teens and sometimes very low 20's. Don't expect to have to wear much more than a shirt or light jacket. It's a very comfortable heat for sightseeing especially if you are carrying cameras or cam-corders around!! In the evenings the temperature does drop so a jacket or jumper may be needed.

Visiting in winter is also cheaper and probably less crowded, although Sydney is always busy and full of people. And all attractions are open all year round.

A word of warning, the sun in Australia can be very fierce, so if you plan on visiting in the summer time, wear plenty of high factor suncream and wear a hat and T-shirt.
