What February is like in Sydney

February is Sydney's wettest month on average, thanks to tropical moisture from the north combining with east coast lows. Despite the rain, it remains hot and humid. The ocean is at its warmest, and beach culture is in full swing. Late-summer thunderstorms are frequent, and the season's heaviest single-day rainfall events often occur in February. Daylight begins shortening noticeably toward month's end, but evenings remain warm and long.

These figures are long-term averages, not a forecast — for today's actual conditions and the week ahead, check the live Sydney weather forecast. Averages are useful for planning travel, events or what to pack, but any single February can run warmer, cooler, wetter or drier than the long-term normal.
