The
Flinders Ranges present
a wide variety of
climatic regions.
As the wide variety
of the plains north
of Crystal Brook,
the climate is temperate,
with an annual rainfall
of around 650 mm.
Further north, conditions
become progressively
more arid, with average
annual rainfalls between
250 and 350 mm. High
temperatures around
the upper 30oC
are experienced at
the height of summer.
Autumn, winter and
spring are by far
the best seasons to
visit, in winter,
daytime temperatures
are generally mild,
but the nights can
be very cold.
The climate of the
Mid North is temperate.
Temperatures vary
with the topography
- on the coast, the
range tends to be
higher than on the
region's eastern boundaries
which border plains
country. Some districts,
such as the Clare
Valley, can experience
cooler weather in
winter. Annual rainfall
varies between 350mm
and 500mm, with falls
of around 600mm in
isolated cases.
