Weather - Adelaide
I've read in various forum threads that the weather in Adelaide is not as good as peoples expectations. Do you think these people have forgot what bad/depressing weather we have hear in the UK?
My main reason for moving is because I feel really fed up in the long winter months. Will Adelaide resolve my problem or is the weather in Adelaide not as good as I might think.

Hi I'm from Adelaide and I love the weather there. We get all of the seasons in Summer it is usually between 28 to 36 or so but can get up to 45 and in winter its usually around 12 - 14 ish and the other seasons can vary from say 16 to 30 just depends really.. We were there in April last year which was Autumn and had a few days of it being 28/30. So if you like all the four seasons then its a great place to live.

Re: Weather - Adelaide
Adelaide can have a long cold wet winter.
Last year was one of the worst for a while.
Last time I was there in the winter it felt little different to a UK winter. Be warned....the people have not forgotten.... they are now living in houses with little heating and no insulation.

We were there last June - and must have been extremely lucky with the weather as it was clear and sunny for most of the 10 days we were there with maybe 2 days of rain.

I was there last November (meant to be spring) and there were floods all over caused by the torrential rain.
Let's just say that Adelaide has 'interesting' weather

Most of the Freshwater (what little there is) is either strictly controlled by clubs, not accessible at all or overrun with Carp.
Look here: http://www.fishsa.com/
The fishing(both sea and freshwater) is far better in most other states although SA does have it's spots.
