Best time to visit Bathurst

April is the best month in Bathurst, scoring 89 out of 100, with July the weakest at 60. The 29-point spread means timing is worth planning around without being decisive. 6 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 30.5 °C and July the coolest at 11.8 °C — a 18.7 °C spread across the year. Around 44 days a year top 30 °C, concentrated in January and the months either side. 8 nights a year dip below freezing.

There is a real wet season here. January, February and November carry the rain — up to 11 wet days in a month — while April, May and September drop as low as 5. That 6-day gap is the biggest single difference between a good month and a bad one in Bathurst, and it moves further than the temperature does.

Daylight runs from 10 hours in winter to 14.3 in summer, enough to notice on a sightseeing itinerary.

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