Adelaide’s weather today, based on the live forecast above, is mild with partly cloudy skies and a light sea breeze. Expect a settled autumn afternoon before cooler conditions arrive tonight.
What’s driving today’s weather?
A weak high-pressure ridge over South Australia keeps most of Adelaide dry today. A trough approaching from the west will bring a small chance of a late shower, but the city should stay mainly fine through the afternoon. The sea breeze from Gulf St Vincent will keep coastal suburbs a couple of degrees cooler than inland areas.
How will the week shape up?
This ridge begins to break down from Tuesday, increasing the chance of light showers midweek. A cold front late Thursday may bring a more noticeable drop in temperatures and gusty southerly winds, so keep an eye on the severe weather warning page if you’re heading outdoors.
Why does Adelaide feel cooler than the forecast shows?
The city’s coastal position means a steady sea breeze often undercuts the predicted maximum, especially in summer and autumn. The Bureau of Meteorology uses inland stations for its official readings, so actual conditions near the coast can be several degrees lower.
When does the next rain chance arrive?
A trough edges in from the west late Tuesday into Wednesday, bringing a 40–60% chance of light showers. The best chance for wetter weather is Thursday when a cold front moves across the state. Check the Adelaide Weather page for updated models.
