Tips & Recommendations

  • Pack light layers — mornings can be cool even in summer, especially near the harbour
  • A compact umbrella is useful year-round; Sydney gets sudden afternoon showers
  • Invest in good sunscreen (SPF 50+) — UV levels are extreme from September to March
  • Winter rarely drops below 8°C, so a medium jacket is usually sufficient
  • Coastal suburbs get a sea breeze that can drop temperatures 5-7°C on summer afternoons
