2029 has 365 days, and January opens the year with the tropical north deep in its wet season, part of the cyclone season that runs from November through to April. In the southern states, 20 January 2029 sits in the driest, hottest stretch of the year, when bushfire warnings are issued most frequently across Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania and inland New South Wales.
Saturday 20 January 2029 is a weekend day under the standard Monday-to-Friday working pattern and does not count toward the working-day total shown above. Retail, hospitality, healthcare and emergency services staff commonly work rostered shifts on this day regardless of the standard week that applies to most other industries and workplaces across the country.
Contracts and legal deadlines that specify calendar days count every day from 20 January 2029 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.
