Modbury North’s weather today, as shown in the live forecast above, is typical for the Adelaide Plains: mild mornings, warm afternoons, and a low chance of rain, with conditions driven by the nearby Gulf St Vincent.
What is the typical weather pattern for Modbury North?
Modbury North sits in Adelaide’s north-eastern suburbs, about 12 kilometres from the city centre. Its climate is Mediterranean, with hot, dry summers and cool, wet winters. The area is sheltered by the Mount Lofty Ranges to the east, which can reduce rainfall compared to the hills but also trap heat on summer nights.
- Summer (Dec–Feb): Average maximums around 29°C, with occasional heatwaves above 40°C. Northerly winds bring dry heat; a sea breeze often cools the afternoon.
- Winter (Jun–Aug): Maximums near 15°C, minimums around 7°C. Rain-bearing fronts from the west bring most of the annual 450–500 mm of rainfall.
- Spring and autumn are transitional, with variable winds and mild temperatures, ideal for outdoor activity.
