Väder i Sydney i februari

Regulars call this a genuine favourite, still warm without summer's oppressive humidity, with the second half of the month specifically named as one of the best weather stretches of the year here. Our row backs the pleasant read, 22.6C over 16.8C nights, with 114.4mm of rain across 8.3 days. Regulars on the Northern Beaches say the sea stays fine for swimming through this month and is often warmer than it runs in spring, right on the cusp before the water properly cools. Evenings do turn cool enough for a light jacket over a thin layer, a real contrast to the warm afternoons. The sea sits at 21.7C. The record: humidity 74 percent, 9.2 hours of sun, a 14.2 kph wind and AQI 45.

Regulars split this month at its own midpoint: early December can be genuinely beautiful and not that humid, while the run-up to Christmas turns hotter and more crowded as the holiday hype builds - humidity itself does not peak until January. Our row averages across both halves at 23.5C reading as 25C, with 86.6mm of rain across 9.6 days. Their sea estimate runs warmer than our column - they say 25C and above, we read 20.4C - which is the early-summer gap between a beach that has not fully warmed and a forecast built on the season's later weeks; either way a coastal breeze keeps the humidity milder than the air temperature alone suggests. The record: humidity 72 percent, 11.2 hours of sun, a 19.1 kph wind and AQI 49.

The swimming season here opens on the first weekend of October and runs to the last of March, which makes this month the start rather than the middle - the water is about 17C by their reckoning and 19C by our column, swimmable if you are keen and cold if you are not. The weather is spring at its most variable: thirty degrees one day, barely twenty and raining the next, with fresh evenings either way. Our averages read 20.9C over 15.3C with 89.5mm across 8.5 days. The jacarandas begin mid-October and run to mid-November, with Kirribilli and the Woolwich ferry the streets people name. The record: humidity 69 percent, 10.2 hours of sun and AQI 45.

September is early spring in Sydney: cool-to-warm sunny days, low humidity, and sunshine reliable enough that it is the city's busy wedding month. The caveat regulars attach is that it is the first month of spring and notoriously unpredictable - summery or even hot one day, properly cold the next - so the packing is layered. Two September draws come with it: the jacarandas begin, with McDougall Street in Kirribilli the name everyone gives and the ferry to Woolwich the quieter alternative, and the whales are still passing, though one September report notes the wind on the boat was properly cold. The record: 20C days that feel like 19C, 13.2C nights, 6.6 precipitation days carrying 73.4mm and an 18.3C sea.
