Warmer weather returns in earnest across the southern states by 2 November 2029, 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.
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 2 November 2029 falls on this day of the week, the last working day of its standard Monday-to-Friday week before the weekend begins.
