Autumn is fully established across the southern states by 1 April 2028, with cooler mornings standard and the first talk of the ski season in the Snowy Mountains and Victorian Alps beginning to circulate. The tropical north's cyclone season runs through April before ending for the year, handing the north over to its long dry season.
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 1 April 2028 falls on this day of the week, inside the weekend itself.
The week number shown for 1 April 2028 counts full weeks from the start of 2028, a figure used in payroll cycles, rostering and any planning done in weekly or fortnightly blocks rather than by calendar month. Businesses running fortnightly pay runs rely on this figure to track which of the two alternating pay weeks a date falls in.
