Located on the east coast of Australia, Sydney mirrors the latitude and climate of San Diego on the USA west coast. The European equivalent would be any of the seaside cities on the Mediterranean. Summers are warm with average daytime temperatures of 77°F (25°C) between December and February. Winters are quite mild with average daytime temperatures of 63°F (17°C) between June and August. Known for its sunshine and clear weather, Sydney boasts an average of 300 sunny days each year. The year-round magnificent weather compliments the majesty of Sydney Harbour, one of the largest natural harbours in the world and the home to two of Australia’s most recognisable icons, the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Opera House.
