Autumn and spring (March to May, September to November) – shoulder season
These seasons bring mild, comfortable days with averages of 12–24°C (54–75°F). Changing colours in the Adelaide Hills, wine harvest activities, and regular events in the city create a pleasant atmosphere, with generally clear skies that suit walking and day trips.

Winter (June to August) – low season
