Autumn deepens across the southern states by 18 May 2029, with cooler mornings standard and the first inland frosts of the year appearing across the higher and southern parts of the country. The tropical north moves into its dry season during May, after the wet season that runs from November to April comes to its close.
Some employers close early or run a shortened day on Friday, ahead of the weekend that follows. 18 May 2029 falls on this day, the last of the five working days counted in the total shown above for its week, immediately before Saturday and Sunday begin the two-day break most standard working arrangements observe.
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 18 May. Interstate businesses need to check more than one state's list before setting a national deadline.
