Located on the ocean shore, the city enjoys a temperate climate and has, on average, more than 300 days of sunshine per year. However, Sydney's weather, depending on the season, can occasionally be rainy, especially in March and April. In winter (June to August), mercury ranges from 9 to 16°C and the Blues Mountains are snow-covered, while summer temperatures in Sydney easily reach 30°C.

Budget
The cost of living in Australia is higher than in Europe. Even if car rentals remain attractive and there are many forms of low-cost accommodation (backpackers and inns), you will need to be prepared for a few concessions if your budget is limited. Also, while fuel prices remain low, many vehicles consume more than 10 litres per 100 km. For those who stay several months, know that everything is paid by the week (salary, accommodation...)
Health
Sydney does not present any major health risks. However, make sure that your vaccinations mandatory in France are up to date before you leave.
Sun. The solar radiation here is particularly strong because we are close to the equator and the hole in the ozone layer. It is imperative to use a sunscreen with a high index to avoid sunburn
Water. The tap is drinkable in Sydney as in all major Australian cities. In rural areas, on the other hand, its quality may be poor. If in doubt, prefer bottled water.
Mosquitoes and sandflies. Use a repellent for exposed skin areas and wear protective clothing, especially in the evening. For your room, choose a good insecticide and/or mosquito net. The same measures should be applied to protect against sandflies (or biting midges), tiny insects whose bites are very irritating.
