Tasmania has a cool temperate climate. This means that summer weather can vary between warm and pleasant and cold and rainy. Occasional periods of hot, dry weather, coupled with the extensive forests and bushland, mean that bushfires are a risk, and Tasmania has certainly some some devastating bushfires in the past. Generally, however, Tasmania is a very pleasant place in summer, and not subject to heat and humidity. Summer maximum temperatures range from an average of 21-24 degrees Celsius, with minimums of 10-12 degrees Celsius, depending on the area of Tasmania in which one lives.

Winters in Tasmania are very cold (at least to other Australians), with snow falling in the high country, and at Mt Wellington, which overlooks Hobart. Winter maximum temperatures average 12-13 degrees Celsius, with minimums of 2-5 degrees Celsius on average. On average, of course, means that they can fall well below or above these ranges. Winter months are wetter than summer months.

Rainfall totals average 507 millimetres in Hobart, 683 in Launceston, and 797 in Devonport, with the highest rainfall being in Strahan, with 1475 Millimetres.
