The town stands about 490 feet above the sea, and is surrounded by some of the richest soil on the Peninsula. The township is only about nine years old, and has made steady progress, and bids fair to be the next largest town to Moonta on the Peninsula.[8]Climate[edit]Maitland experiences a hot-summer mediterranean climate (K\u00f6ppen climate classification: Csa), Trewartha: Csal); with hot, dry summers; mild to warm, relatively dry springs and autumns; and mild, winters with moderate precipitation.Climate data for Maitland, South Australia, Australia (1991\u20132020 normals, extremes 1879\u2013present); 185 m AMSLMonthJanFebMarAprMayJunJulAugSepOctNovDecYearRecord high \u00b0C (\u00b0F)46.3(115.3)43.5(110.3)40.1(104.2)37.0(98.6)29.0(84.2)25.0(77.0)21.8(71.2)28.0(82.4)33.8(92.8)37.9(100.2)42.4(108.3)46.0(114.8)46.3(115.3)Mean maximum \u00b0C (\u00b0F)38.3(100.9)36.5(97.7)33.3(91.9)29.1(84.4)22.9(73.2)18.1(64.6)16.9(62.4)19.5(67.1)24.4(75.9)29.0(84.2)33.9(93.0)36.0(96.8)38.3(100.9)Average high \u00b0C (\u00b0F)30.3(86.5)29.3(84.7)26.6(79.9)23.1(73.6)18.8(65.8)15.6(60.1)14.8(58.6)16.1(61.0)19.1(66.4)22.5(72.5)26.2(79.2)28.0(82.4)22.5(72.6)Daily mean \u00b0C (\u00b0F)23.3(73.9)22.8(73.0)20.7(69.3)18.0(64.4)14.7(58.5)11.9(53.4)11.1(52.0)11.9(53.4)14.1(57.4)16.5(61.7)19.6(67.3)21.2(70.2)17.2(62.9)Average low \u00b0C (\u00b0F)16.3(61.3)16.2(61.2)14.8(58.6)12.8(55.0)10.5(50.9)8.1(46.6)7.4(45.3)7.6(45.7)9.1(48.4)10.5(50.9)13.0(55.4)14.4(57.9)11.7(53.1)Mean minimum \u00b0C (\u00b0F)11.5(52.7)11.7(53.1)10.7(51.3)9.0(48.2)6.8(44.2)4.7(40.5)4.4(39.9)4.5(40.1)5.5(41.9)6.4(43.5)8.1(46.6)9.8(49.6)4.4(39.9)Record low \u00b0C (\u00b0F)7.7(45.9)8.9(48.0)7.2(45.0)4.4(39.9)4.0(39.2)0.0(32.0)0.0(32.0)1.1(34.0)1.1(34.0)1.8(35.2)4.4(39.9)6.5(43.7)0.0(32.0)Average precipitation mm (inches)15.9(0.63)21.0(0.83)23.1(0.91)38.4(1.51)56.9(2.24)68.5(2.70)62.4(2.46)58.3(2.30)46.6(1.83)36.7(1.44)25.9(1.02)28.8(1.13)482.5(19)Average precipitation days (\u2265 1.0 mm)3.12.63.65.38.811.311.710.78.85.84.84.180.6Average relative humidity (%)44.049.051.054.066.073.573.567.060.551.547.545.556.9Average dew point \u00b0C (\u00b0F)10.1(50.2)11.3(52.3)9.6(49.3)9.1(48.4)8.8(47.8)7.7(45.9)7.0(44.6)6.6(43.9)7.3(45.1)6.7(44.1)8.1(46.6)8.7(47.7)8.4(47.2)Source 1: Australian Bureau of Meteorology (1991\u20132020 normals)[9]Source 2: Australian Bureau of Meteorology (1879\u2013present extremes)[10]Maitland was home to a newspaper called the Maitland Watch (22 December 1911 \u2013 26 June 1969).
