Warmer weather returns in earnest across the southern states by 28 November 2026, with the first genuinely hot days of the season arriving during November, ahead of summer's official start on 1 December and the cyclone season that runs through the tropical north until April.
Sport fixtures, markets and family events across Australia are concentrated on Saturdays more than any other day of the week. 28 November 2026 falls on Saturday, outside the standard working-day count used on this page, between the working week that ends on Friday and the one that begins the following Monday.
The countdown to 28 November 2026 is measured from today's date and updates once every day, since the number of days, hours and minutes remaining changes continuously as the current date moves closer to it. Each visit to this page recalculates the figure fresh from the current moment, rather than storing a fixed number that would go stale over time.
