The winter solstice falls in the third week of June every year, the shortest day and longest night on the Australian calendar. 27 June 2027 sits close to this turning point, after which daylight hours slowly lengthen again toward summer, even though winter continues for two more months, through July and August.
Sunday 27 June 2027 is a weekend day under the standard Monday-to-Friday working pattern and does not count toward the working-day total shown above, the last day of the weekend before the working week resumes on Monday morning across most Australian workplaces and schools.
