Check the live forecast above for Mount Pleasant’s current conditions, then plan your day around the afternoon sea breeze that often brings a mild shift – this pattern is driven by the town’s position in the Adelaide Hills, about 55 km east of the city.
What is the typical weather pattern in Mount Pleasant?
Mount Pleasant sits in the eastern Adelaide Hills, so its weather is cooler and wetter than the Adelaide plains, especially in winter.
- Summer (Dec–Feb): Average max 26–30 °C, but afternoon sea breezes can drop temperatures by 5–8 °C.
- Winter (Jun–Aug): Max 11–14 °C, with frequent cloudy days and light rain; frost is common overnight.
- Spring and autumn bring variable conditions – warm spells followed by cool fronts every 5–7 days.
- Rainfall is spread fairly evenly, averaging 80–100 mm per month in winter and 20–40 mm in summer.
How reliable is the Mount Pleasant radar?
The closest weather radar is at Buckland Park (Adelaide), not Mount Pleasant itself, so localised showers can be missed. For hourly details, check weather mount pleasant hourly data on the BOM site.
- The Buckland Park radar covers the Mount Pleasant area but has a slight blind spot to the east.
