Hobart’s weather can shift quickly, but the live forecast above gives you the current conditions on the ground. For travellers, the warmest, most reliable window is January to February, when average highs sit around 22°C and daylight stretches late into the evening.
When is the best time to visit Hobart?
Summer (December–February) offers the best balance of warmth and low rainfall, with January and February typically the driest months. Autumn and spring are cooler but often have crisp, sunny days that are ideal for walking the mountain or waterfront. Winter (June–August) brings cold, cloudy weather and frequent rain, but it’s also the quietest time for those chasing off-season deals and fewer crowds.
What should you pack for Hobart weather?
Layers are essential year-round. Even in summer, a light jacket or fleece is wise for sudden cool changes, especially near the water. In winter, bring a warm coat, beanie, and waterproof shoes. The city’s “four seasons in one day” reputation means a compact umbrella and a mid-layer you can add or remove quickly.
Where can I find a reliable Hobart weather 14-day forecast?
The live forecast above updates throughout the day, but for a longer outlook the Bureau of Meteorology and Weatherzone both provide Hobart’s 14-day forecast, including trends for temperature, rainfall, and wind.
How do I check the Hobart weather radar for incoming rain?
The Bureau of Meteorology’s Hobart radar (on Mount Barrow) covers the city and surrounds. It updates every 10 minutes and is the quickest way to see if showers or storms are approaching the Tasmanian capital.
Are there any 28-day or 30-day forecasts for Hobart?
Extended outlooks (like a Hobart weather forecast 28 days or 30 days) give only broad trends in temperature and rainfall probability. For trip planning, the 7-day and 14-day forecasts are far more reliable for specific conditions.
