Plan around February
February is shoulder season: good weather, a step below the best months (January, March & April and September – November).
- Inside the wettest three-month stretch, January – March.
- Comfort slips from 84/100 in January to 79/100.
- Our Sydney, Blue Mountains & the Reef route recommends May – Oct, so February falls outside its suggested window.
