Here are some things you can do when it rains in Adelaide
On average, Adelaide experiences rainfall at least 50 days a year. That’s not a lot, so it opens up so many ideas for outdoor activities every year.
However, in the event that it rains, it can feel limiting, as it’s hard to think of backup activities to do on the fly.
Fortunately, there are still so many things you can do to make your time outside worthwhile!
Visit a museum
The first thing that comes to mind when it’s raining outside is to find something you can do indoors. One of which is to visit a museum and view historical and contemporary art pieces.
If you enjoy appreciating art, this is a great activity if it’s raining outside. On top of this, you might even catch the museum mostly empty because other people tend to cancel plans when it’s pouring outside.
What’s even better is that your visit to the museum comes free of cost!
Walk around a Japanese garden
Who’s to say that you can’t take a stroll when it’s raining outside? In our opinion, it elevates the relaxing atmosphere when it rains in a garden, especially a Japanese garden.
Himeji Garden is a Japanese-style garden where you can spend some time walking around and reflecting by yourself. Just remember to bring an umbrella with you, and of course, this plan is only ideal if there is light rainfall around Adelaide.
This place is a hidden gem and its vast foliage is even more captivating when it’s raining. So an added tip is to take pictures of the garden and post them on social media!
Enjoy morning coffee at a breakfast place
If you’re a morning person, one of the best ways to ride out the rainy weather is to sip morning coffee at a cozy breakfast place around Adelaide.
There is no shortage of great places to grab coffee and just read a book or a newspaper as the raindrops hit the window pane of a cafe. In fact, Adelaide is home to one of the most renowned breakfast places in South Australia.
Stay at home to clean the house
If ever you run out of contingency plans or if there is a strong downpour outside, it doesn’t hurt to cancel plans and figure out something else to do.
Maybe you can decide to lay back and enjoy a movie at home. Or better yet, to keep yourself busy, you can opt to clean your place.
Most of us don’t have time to do so when we’re preoccupied with activities and work throughout the week. Trust us, you’ll thank yourself later for keeping your place cozier to live in.
But in case you don’t feel like cleaning, you can always employ cleaning services so you can focus on relaxing in the house.
It might even be a good time to decorate your house with fresh flowers!
