Autumn deepens across the southern states by 30 May 2026, with cooler mornings standard and the first inland frosts of the year appearing across the higher and southern parts of the country. The tropical north moves into its dry season during May, after the wet season that runs from November to April comes to its close.
A public holiday that falls on a Saturday sits inside the weekend rather than beside it, so it does not automatically create a substitute day off during the working week; whether one applies depends on the specific holiday and the state. Saturday 30 May 2026 falls on this day of the week, inside the weekend itself.
2026 has 365 days on the calendar. Leap years add a single extra day to February, giving those years 366 days instead of 365 and shifting the day-of-year number for every date from March onward by one compared with an ordinary year. This is the only irregularity in the length of the Australian calendar year.
