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, 26 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.
A public holiday on a Friday pairs directly with the Saturday and Sunday that follow it, producing one of the two most common three-day-weekend patterns on the Australian calendar. Friday 26 January 2029 falls on this day of the week, the last working day of its standard Monday-to-Friday week before the weekend begins.
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 26 January. Interstate businesses need to check more than one state's list before setting a national deadline.
