Best time to visit Armidale

April is the best month in Armidale, scoring 84 out of 100, with June the weakest at 59. The 25-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.

January is the warmest month at 27.6 °C and July the coolest at 12.2 °C — a 15.4 °C spread across the year. 25 nights a year dip below freezing.

There is a real wet season here. January, February, March and December carry the rain — up to 15 wet days in a month — while May, July, August and September drop as low as 6. That 9-day gap is the biggest single difference between a good month and a bad one in Armidale, and it moves further than the temperature does.

The three strongest months are April, September, October. The one to think twice about is June. Each month below has its own page with rainfall reliability, extremes, daylight and crowd levels.
