The live forecast above shows Hobart’s conditions right now. For travellers, the sweet spot runs from December to March when average highs hover near 21°C and Festival of the Arts lights up summer. Autumn (March–May) delivers crisp, clear days and fewer crowds, making it a strong alternative.
When should I plan my Hobart trip?
December to February offers the warmest beach weather, with long daylight hours ideal for mount Wellington walks or Bruny Island ferries. If you prefer milder conditions, March and April still reach 17–19°C and host the Royal Hobart Show. Winter (June–August) is cool and often rainy, but it’s a quiet time for indoor attractions like MONA.
How does Hobart weather vary by season?
Hobart’s maritime climate means summers are mild and winters crisp, with rainfall spread fairly evenly but slightly heavier in July and August. The city can experience four seasons in one day, so layers are essential. Winds off the Derwent estuary can drop temperatures quickly, especially near the water. For current patterns, check the hobart weather radar on our severe-weather page.
Does it snow in Hobart city?
Snow in the city centre is rare—once every few years, usually a light dusting on Mount Wellington that can be seen from town. The mountain itself gets regular snow in winter, often visible from the city on a clear day.
What is Hobart’s wind like?
Prevailing north-westerlies can bring gusty conditions, especially in spring. The “Roaring Forties” influence means coastal areas are often breezy. Check the 7‑day forecast for wind warnings before outdoor plans.
How reliable are long-range Hobart forecasts?
Models 14 days out give broad trends but local accuracy drops after 7 days. For trip planning, the hobart weather 14 day outlook offers a useful guide, while the 7‑day forecast is more dependable for activities.
