January 2030 calendar

January sits at the height of the Australian summer. The southern states run hot and dry, with bushfire risk at its seasonal peak across Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania, while the tropical north sits inside its wet season, part of the cyclone season that runs from November through to April. Daylight saving stays in effect across New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania and the ACT for the whole of January 2030.

January opens the first calendar quarter of 2030, which runs from January to March, and sits seven months into the financial year that began the previous July. Businesses running monthly reporting cycles close out January against both calendars at once, while fortnightly payroll runs continue on their own independent schedule through the month. The Big Bash cricket season also wraps up in the same window as the Australian Open.

The transition from January into February brings school terms back into session nationwide and ends the run of long summer holidays that January 2030 carried in full. The Australian Open and the Big Bash cricket season both wrap up in the same window, closing out the summer sporting calendar until the football codes open the following month. January sits seven months into the financial year that began the previous July as well.
