Autumn begins on 1 March, and by 15 March 2029 the southern states see shorter days and cooler mornings settling in. The northern wet season continues through March, with cyclone activity still active ahead of its April end, while the south moves out of its summer bushfire peak as the season turns over into the cooler months.
Thursday sits one working day ahead of the weekend, making it the point in the week where plans for Friday, Saturday and Sunday commonly get finalised. 15 March 2029 falls on this day of the week, the second-to-last working day before the standard Monday-to-Friday week comes to a close and the weekend takes over.
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 15 March. Interstate businesses need to check more than one state's list before setting a national deadline.
