November 2028 calendar

Warmer weather returns in earnest across the southern states during November, with the first genuinely hot days of the season arriving ahead of summer's official start on 1 December. The cyclone season across northern Australia begins on 1 November and runs through November 2028 and on to the following April, marking the tropical north's wettest half of the year. The Melbourne Cup runs on the first Tuesday of November every year, a public holiday in metropolitan Melbourne only.

The Melbourne Cup gives metropolitan Melbourne a public holiday on the first Tuesday of November 2028, while the rest of the country works through an ordinary day. Leave planned around the spring racing carnival and the build-up to Christmas commonly concentrates in the second half of the month, as the festive season approaches and retail trade builds toward December. Remembrance Day falls on 11 November every year, marked nationwide without being a public holiday anywhere.

November 2028 runs to 30 days and sits in the fourth calendar quarter of 2028, eleven months into the 366-day year. The financial year that began the previous July has five months behind it and seven still to run before its 30 June close the following year, closing out the calendar year's second-to-last month. School Term 4 continues through the whole of November without a holiday break.
