Warmer weather returns in earnest across the southern states by 12 November 2028, 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.
Sunday 12 November 2028 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.
Contracts and legal deadlines that specify calendar days count every day from 12 November 2028 including weekends and public holidays, while deadlines specified in working or business days count only the days this page includes in its working-day total. The difference between the two conventions can shift a deadline by several days once weekends and holidays are counted.
