Summer

Though December and January are popular months for vacationing tourists, most of the festivals start in February. Rainfall is rare, although it would still be best to bring a rain jacket.

You can expect several festivals in March and April, as well as warm days and cool evenings. May is also pleasant, but be prepared for the occasional rain. A rain jacket is highly recommended, as well as nice warm clothing for the evenings.

Winter

You've probably read somewhere that June is the wettest month in Adelaide. Well, it's true. Adelaide Winters are cool and accompanied by a lot of rain. If you wish to travel in July or August, remember to bring your rain jacket or a winter jacket and as many warm clothes as possible.

Spring

Although September still gets some rain, you will be able to do a lot of outdoor adventures in October and November. This is when Spring comes in and the rainfall lessens considerably. Pleasant warm days are followed by mild evenings, so make sure you have sunscreen for the outdoors and warm clothes to sleep in.
