The live forecast above shows Hobart’s current conditions, which are typical for this time of year – cool mornings, mild afternoons and a chance of a shower off the Southern Ocean. The coming week reflects a classic spring pattern: variable cloud and light winds, with temperatures staying close to seasonal averages.
What does the Hobart 7 day forecast show?
The 7-day outlook points to mostly fresh westerly breezes and isolated showers, especially on the eastern side of the city. Mornings often start around 8‑10°C, rising to 17‑19°C by afternoon. Longer-range models (hobart weather 14 day, 21 day, even 30 day) suggest a slow warming trend as spring progresses, but with repeated cold fronts passing through. For a detailed picture, use the hobart weather radar to track incoming rain bands – it’s especially useful for planning walks around kunanyi/Mount Wellington.

How does Hobart’s weather change across the year?
Hobart has four distinct seasons: dry, mild summers and cool, wet winters. The famous “Hobart summer” can feel more like a Melbourne spring, thanks to persistent sea breezes. Autumn and spring are transition seasons with frequent fronts. Snow rarely reaches the city centre – it lies above 1000 metres on the mountain. For extended planning the hobart weather forecast 21 day page is a good guide to broad trends.
Why is Hobart often cooler than mainland capitals?
Its latitude (43° south) and direct exposure to westerly winds from the Southern Ocean mean cold fronts arrive frequently. Even in summer, a sea breeze can drop the mercury by 5–8 °C in minutes, especially on the eastern shore.
What is the best time to visit Hobart for fine weather?
January to March offers the warmest and most settled conditions, but still expect cool nights and the odd front. Autumn (March‑April) often delivers calm, clear days before winter rains begin.
Does Hobart ever get snow?
City‑centre snow is rare – about once every five years a light dusting may fall. Heavier snow is confined to kunanyi/Mount Wellington (1271 m), accessible year‑round via the Pinnacle Road.
