About Hobart Weather
Hobart, at 42.9° south in Australia, experiences a continental climate defined by wide seasonal temperature swings. Winters (June – August) are cold, with temperatures often falling well below freezing and reliable snowfall. Summers, by contrast, can be surprisingly warm — the city regularly sees temperatures exceeding 25°C (77°F) between December and February, with occasional heat waves pushing above 33°C (91°F). This strong seasonal contrast reflects distance from large moderating ocean bodies. Spring and autumn exist but are often brief; the most dramatic weather occurs at the temperature extremes.
