About Adelaide

Adelaide is a friendly, multicultural city that makes international students feel welcome and safe. Adelaide has a population of 1.2 million people and is the State's capital. The city centre is surrounded on all sides by 7 square kilometres of parklands. The majority of Adelaide's residents live in the suburbs that circle the city centre and stretch about 30 kilometres to the north and to the south.

Adelaide is big enough to offer plenty of things to do but small enough to avoid big-city hassles like traffic jams and pollution.

Adelaide's weather changes through 4 seasons each year but the weather is generally mild and sunny. Adelaide does not suffer any major storms, typhoons, cyclones or hurricanes. The weather consists of:

• Spring days (September to November) are on average a mild 22 degrees Celsius (71 degrees Fahrenheit) with plenty of sunshine.
  
• Summer (December to February) can get quite hot (up to 40C or 104F) but averages around 28C (82F). Adelaide's warm weather is dry not humid.
  
• Autumn (March to May) is generally mild and sunny and much like spring although we start to get some rain.
  
• Winter (June to August) is cool (around 15C or 60F) and wet but not cold enough for snow.
  

Adelaide has a beautiful environment of gentle hills, wide parklands and miles of clean, sandy beaches. Because the city is relatively small, Adelaide enjoys clean air, safe streets and less traffic problems than many other Australian capital cities.
