To begin with, Tasmania is not always cold. It can experience hot summer temperatures, and is certainly subject to bushfires during the summer.
Tasmania is cooler than the other states of Australia for several reasons.
- It is the southernmost state, and therefore closest to the Antarctic Circle.
- Being a fairly small island, it is more subject to having cold winds and weather from the Southern Ocean penetrating inland.
- Much of the terrain is mountainous, and therefore of a higher altitude than the many flat regions on the mainland.
