Best Time to Visit

The most lively seasons in which also locals are out in order to enjoy the warm weather in Adelaide is between February and May, as the average temperatures of around 24 degrees allow for every outdoor (and must-do) activity and also attending interesting events such as the Adelaide Fringe Festival. While February is the hottest month of the year, the following ones cool down the weather to a level of comfort that ends with winter coming around from June until August.
