WEATHER GUIDE
Named ‘Best Temperate Island in the World’ in 1999 and 2000 by Conde Nast Traveler, Tasmania has a mild, temperate maritime climate, with four distinct seasons. Summers are mild, with any hot periods rarely lasting more than a few days. Winters are not excessively cold, especially compared to places at similar latitudes in the northern hemisphere, thanks to the sea’s moderating influence. Hobart has the second lowest rainfall (after Adelaide) of all Australian capital cities, with an average annual rainfall of 626mm.
