The best time to visit Alexandra is during the summer months, from December to February, when the weather is warm and sunny, superb for outdoor activities.During this period, the average daily temperature sits around a comfortable 25°C (77°F), often reaching into the low 30s. This makes it ideal for exploring the Otago Central Rail Trail, cycling through vineyards, or enjoying a leisurely afternoon by the Clutha River. The long daylight hours also mean you can pack more into your days.For those interested in the region's produce, late summer and early autumn (February to April) is also an excellent time. This is when the famous Alexandra stone fruit, like apricots and cherries, are in season, offering a delicious local experience.
