Typically, temperatures in late August range from around 12-18°C for highs and 6-10°C for lows. As September progresses, temperatures gradually increase, with highs reaching around 20-24°C and lows around 10-15°C. Rainfall may occur, but it's usually not excessive. Overall, it's a pleasant time to visit Adelaide, with the city beginning to come to life as spring approaches.
