Sydney in June

Winter begins and rainy days pick up again. Vivid Sydney usually runs for about three weeks from late May into mid June, so bring a jacket for night walks. Coming from a northern summer, you will feel a real change of season.

Neither hot nor cold: 18°C by day and 10°C after dark. Spending hours on foot was easy. With 10 rain days on average, a wet day was rarely more than a few days away. A visitor in 2022 met 2 rain days; one in 2007 met 17. The average of 10 hid that gap.

The month opened with 10.1 hours of daylight and closed with 9.9. Dusk came early. Cold snaps happened: the record low for June was 1.4°C, set in 2010. Rain days averaged 16 mm each, so when it rained it rained properly.
