Its funny, it got Vancouver, BC exactly opposite. I'm sure most resident of the notoriously wet city believe July 1-Aug 27 is the best time to visit and not Aug 27-Jul 1

#92Time to visit Australia is all year long, but what I hear the best is November or February.
I feel Autumn and Spring are the best times to visit Sydney.
During the Summer you could travel around the southern parts (Tasmania and SA). In the winter months you can spend time in Cairns (anywhere up north really) and its beautiful. You actually don't want to be up north during summer, it is too hot and it's stinger season in the ocean.

#93Very interesting to start. I know for a fact that if you travel to Seattle in Jan/Feb it's really cheap, but of course that's because it will be raining a lot. Rain, for some people is not a real problem, but price is. With that in mind it would be cool to find out when is the best time to travel somewhere the cheapest. That would be really useful for me and probably others.

#94I had made something similar in 2013 but was not nearly as complete. Good work. Trekweather.com

#95On the 'Weather in Sydney' page: "The warmest time of year is generally mid-January where highs are regularly around 61.9°F (16.6°C) with temperatures rarely dropping below 50.3°F (10.2°C) at night" I think something is off here. That sounds like our winter weather! I would guess our average summer temp would be closer to 30deg C
Likewise Perth has the same error. "The warmest time of year is generally mid-February where highs are regularly around 63.7°F (17.6°C)". The text in Overall Perth Travel Experience by Season is also wrong. I like the concept though.
"The best times to visit Australia for ideal weather are
January 1st to December 30th"
Another interesting tidbit.

Little-known fact: December 31 is "Stabbing Day" in Australia.

#97Cool idea! I just got back from Austria and was surprised about the rain. Didn't even think to pack a rain coat. Even though I checked the weather beforehand, I figured it was a minor fluke. So hard for a West Coast US person to understand that it rains some places in the summer.

#99So the best time to visit Sydney is almost the entire year, except for the last 2 weeks of January?
> February 5th to January 14th

Love the idea.

#100Nice one! Just a thought, apart from atmospheric information; you can add Festival into account. Ex. Let's say Holi in India occurs during March, Kite Festival occurs during January. You can add such thing by just combining few places with Wiki Festivals!
