16 January 2029 sits in the middle of the Australian summer, when the southern states run hot and dry with bushfire risk at its seasonal peak. The tropical north sits inside its wet season, part of the cyclone season that runs from November through to April every year. Daylight saving stays in effect in New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania and the ACT for the whole of January, keeping evenings light well past eight in the evening across those five states.
Tuesday 16 January 2029 carries no recurring public holiday of its own outside the first Tuesday of November, when the Melbourne Cup applies in metropolitan Melbourne. On every other date, this day of the week runs as a standard working day across the country, counted fully in the working-day total above.
The working-day count on this page excludes both weekend days and any public holiday declared for the state selected, so the same date in 2029 can show a different total depending on which state's calendar applies to 16 January. Interstate businesses need to check more than one state's list before setting a national deadline.
