Similar climate to southern Australia, with warm, dry summers and cool, wet winters. However, climate in Tasmania is more variable and more changeable, with some areas (eg Hobart) receiving considerably less rainfall than others. Most of the rainfall is in the west of the island. There is often snow above 1,000m (3,280ft) in July and August.
Required Clothing
Cottons and linens in summer, warmer mediumweights in winter. Waterproofing is advisable throughout the year, particularly in highland areas. Jumpers are recommended for the evenings, all year round.
