All Months
March to May is golden hour in Adelaide. The summer crowds have cleared out, temperatures hover around 22°C, and it's harvest season in the wine regions. The Adelaide Festival in February-March brings world-class arts, but accommodation prices spike. Winter (June-August) might surprise you — days are mild around 16°C, perfect for wine tasting, and you'll have beaches to yourself. Spring (September-November) sees the city bloom, literally. The parks explode with color and outdoor dining picks up again. Avoid January unless you love 35°C heat and packed beaches.
