Weather and when to go

Adelaide has hot, dry summers and mild winters, thanks to its coastal location on the southern edge of Australia. Rainfall, and sometimes hail, usually happens in the winter months. June tends to be the wettest month of the year. Snow in the metro area is not common (bar light falls at Mount Lofty and in the Adelaide Hills).
