The climate of Adelaide (Australia)
Adelaide is a laidback city in the state of South Australia. The city
is known for its art festival. A few weeks a year there are many shows
to be seen and a lot of music to be heard on the streets. Because the
city is designed by planners it is very easy to find your way in this
peaceful city. It actually feels like a large village. If you want to
lie on the beach you can go to the borough of Glenelg. A historic
train will take you there. Adelaide has a lot of other hotspots. The
Tandanya Aboriginal culture institute for instance. This institute is
completely run by Aboriginals and a must see for those who want to
learn about their rich culture. Workshops are given and lectures are
held. There are a number of exhibitions, a gift shop and one can enjoy
authentic food. Because of the large amount of restaurants in Adelaide
a decent cheap meal is easily found. Adelaide has a Mediterranean
climate. Summers are warm and winters are not too cold. There are few
frosty days. Because of the differences in temperature between sea and
land there can be strong winds and a lot of precipitation. Heavy hail
storms are also a possibility.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
