Best time to visit Albany

January is the best month in Albany, scoring 92 out of 100, with August the weakest at 56. The 36-point spread means timing is worth planning around without being decisive. 5 of the twelve months sit within ten points of the best, so there is more than one right answer.

February is the warmest month at 22.5 °C and July the coolest at 16 °C — a 6.5 °C spread across the year.

There is a real wet season here. June to August carry the rain — up to 18 wet days in a month — while January, February, March and December drop as low as 5. That 13-day gap is the biggest single difference between a good month and a bad one in Albany, and it moves further than the temperature does.

The sea peaks at just 19.8 °C, which is wetsuit territory even at its warmest — a coast to look at rather than swim in. Daylight runs from 9.8 hours in winter to 14.5 in summer, enough to notice on a sightseeing itinerary.

The three strongest months are January, February, December. The one to think twice about is August. Each month below has its own page with rainfall reliability, extremes, daylight, sea temperature and crowd levels.
