Sydney experiences its rainiest months from March to June, with the wettest period typically in June. Rain can occur year-round, but the late autumn and early winter months see the most consistent rainfall. Summers (December to February) are warm and can be humid, but not as wet as the peak rainy season.
The best time to visit Sydney is during the spring (September to November) and early autumn (March to May) when the weather is mild and pleasant. The rainy season (March to June) brings more frequent showers, but also lush parks and fewer crowds at major attractions.
