Climate in Sydney Australia - Autumn Months

Last Updated on Thu, 04 Jan 2024 | Living in Australia

Climate in Sydney Australia in autumn is great. It is warm and cosy. Perfect to go to the beach and avoid the strong summer sun. And the water is even warmer than during the previous months.

March and April can bring a bit more rain, well, more by Australian standards, which are very low in terms of rainfall, as drought rules in this country.

Days are getting shorter and the month of May will be cooler, so you will need a jacket to throw over your summer clothes.

March is the first month of autumn, but temperatures continue to be high with daily average maximum of 25 degrees C and minimum of 17. It is very nice to go the beach as the water is really warm, warmer than in summer.
