July in Sydney, Australia is the complete opposite of winter in Korea. It is not as harsh as winter in Korea, but people living in Sydney say it is cold. Today, I have compiled useful information about the average temperature and rainfall in Sydney in July, as well as the question that travelers are most curious about, 'What should I wear?' I hope this will be helpful to those who are planning a trip to cool Australia to escape the sweltering heat of Korea in July.
Average temperatures and weather features in Sydney in July
July in Sydney is the coldest month of the year in Australia, but the coldness is comparable to late fall in Korea in terms of temperature alone.
According to the Korea Meteorological Administration,
item | detail |
|
Average High Temperature | 16~18°C | If the sun is good during the day, it can rise to 18 degrees. |
Average minimum temperature | 8~9°C | In the morning and at night, the temperature may drop to 5 to 8 degrees. The actual perceived temperature may be lower due to wind, etc. |
Average precipitation | 90~110mm | Intermittent showers, strong winds along the coast possible |
During the day, when the sun is shining, the temperature rises to 17~18 degrees, and on days without wind, it feels warm in the middle of the day. Since it is the complete opposite of Korea, the temperature drops sharply after 5 PM as the sun sets, and when the wind blows, the perceived temperature becomes even colder. That is why travelers who are experiencing Sydney's July weather for the first time by only looking at the average temperature say, "It's colder than I thought."
July is not a very wet month in Sydney, but there are still quite a few days with intermittent rain. It can also be quite windy on the coast, so you’ll need an umbrella, but if possible, a waterproof jacket would be even better.
Guide to dressing for July
The key to dressing in Sydney in July is to dress in layers.
While it may be warm during the day, the temperature drops sharply in the evening, so it is better to wear several thin layers of clothing, which you can take off or put on depending on the situation.
The following clothing is suitable for Sydney weather in July.
- Thin long-sleeved T-shirt + knit + lightweight padding or trench coat
- Windbreaker jacket or waterproof coat
- A warm muffler (especially for outdoor activities in the evening)
- A hat or beanie that blocks the wind is also useful.
- Comfortable walking shoes + thick socks
Tourist spots such as the Opera House, Bondi Beach and Manly Beach can be quite windy, so if you have a windbreaker, make sure to bring it.

Finally, here are some practical tips for those planning a winter trip from Korea to Sydney.
- Be careful of the sun even in winter
Sydney has strong UV rays even in winter. Be sure to bring sunscreen during the day. - Waterproof jacket with umbrella
An umbrella may not be of much help when the coastal winds are strong. Be sure to pack at least a light waterproof jacket. - Cold medicine and other emergency medicine
Because the temperature difference between day and night is large, you may catch a cold. There is cold medicine in Australia, but Korean medicine is better for Koreans. - Protect yourself with a scarf.
Gloves are not necessary, but if you are planning a Blue Mountain or night tour, be sure to bring a scarf, hat, etc. to keep yourself warm. - July Golf
Sydney's golf courses have green grass and greens even in winter. There is no problem with operation, and the cool weather makes it even better for playing. However, please note that there may be frost on the grass when teeing off early in the morning.
