Best time to visit Canberra:
The Australian Capital Territory (ACT), home to Canberra, the capital city of Australia, has a temperate climate that experiences four distinct seasons.
Spring (September to November): This is a beautiful time in the ACT when flowers bloom, and the weather is generally mild and pleasant. The Floriade festival, Australia's biggest celebration of spring, typically happens in Canberra during September and October.
Autumn (March to May): The weather is still comfortable, and the changing colors of the leaves make for picturesque scenery. March also sees the enlightening Enlighten Festival, featuring light shows and cultural events.
Summer (December to February): Summers can get hot in Canberra, with temperatures often reaching high levels. However, this time is ideal if you enjoy outdoor activities and festivals like Australia Day celebrations.
Winter (June to August): Winters can be cold in Canberra, with occasional snowfall in the nearby mountains. However, it's a great time for cultural events, like the Canberra Nara Candle Festival in August.
