In summer temperatures can reach 23 degrees Celsius.

Population
The largest city and capital of Adelia is Bekenial City (1,200,000 inhabitants), with 40.6% of the population living in settlements of over 50,000 inhabitants, which makes Adelia the most rural region of Hutori. The coastal area is predominantly urban, while the rest of the province is predominantly rural.

Economy
Adelia's main economic activity is tourism. Adelia is a popular destination for summer tourists, who seek its warmer than average climate. The Adelian coast is also known under the nickname Hutorian Riviera. Compared to other regions of Hutori, however, Adelia has relatively little industry and agriculture contributes to a larger share of GDP then elsewhere in Hutori.

Politics
Adelia is the most conservative region in Hutori and is a stronghold of religious people. The Hutorian Bible Belt encompasses the largest part of the province.
