Best time to visit Mildura

Mildura is a city of two halves. April scores 94 and January scores 48 — a 46-point swing, which is the difference between a holiday and an endurance test. The month you pick matters more here than almost anywhere. 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 35.5 °C and July the coolest at 16.3 °C — a 19.2 °C spread across the year. Around 112 days a year top 30 °C, concentrated in January and the months either side.

Rain is spread evenly through the year — between 3 and 5 wet days in every month — so there is no dry season to aim for and no wet one to dodge. Whatever you plan, the odds of rain are much the same.

Daylight runs from 9.9 hours in winter to 14.4 in summer, enough to notice on a sightseeing itinerary.

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