Climate Chart of Tasmania, Australia

Monthly data: Temperature °C, Rain (mm), Sunshine (h) · 2013–2023

Climate overview

Temperature

The warmest monthly mean is in January, at 17.8 °C, while the coolest is in July, at 7.7 °C. These figures describe average temperatures across each month, not typical daytime maximums, so they are best read as a broad guide to the annual temperature range rather than a forecast for a particular day. Across the calendar-month means, the unweighted mean is 12.2 °C; it is not a day-weighted annual average.

Rain

Mean daily rainfall reaches its highest monthly level in October, at 3.22 mm/day, and its lowest in April, at 1.51 mm/day. These are daily averages for the respective months, not monthly totals, and they do not reveal how rainfall is distributed among individual days. The unweighted mean across monthly daily-rainfall means is 2.10 mm/day. That summary offers context for the year but cannot establish the likelihood of rain on a particular date.

Sunshine

Mean daily sunshine duration is highest in January, at 11.39 hours/day, and lowest in June, at 5.47 hours/day. The figures can help with broad outdoor-planning expectations, but sunshine duration is not the same as day length and does not guarantee clear conditions on a given day. The unweighted mean of the monthly sunshine-duration means is 8.66 hours/day per day, a year-level summary that does not describe the conditions on any particular visit.

Snow

The highest monthly mean daily snowfall is recorded in August, at 1.67 mm/day; the unweighted mean across monthly snowfall means is 0.40 mm/day. These mean amounts do not indicate the number of snowy days, snow depth or snow cover, and cannot establish skiing conditions.

Best Travel Time Guide for Tasmania, Australia: Ideal Seasons and Weather Insights

If you prioritise cooler monthly mean temperatures, July is the relevant option in the record, with a mean of 7.7 °C; this is a monthly average, not a promise about daytime conditions on your travel dates. For visitors prioritising lower average rainfall, April is the conditional choice, with mean daily rainfall of 1.51 mm/day. It does not guarantee dry days or show how frequently rain occurs, so keep flexible plans and bring rain protection; in the month with the highest mean daily rainfall, October at 3.22 mm/day, preparation for wet weather is especially relevant.

For daylight outdoor planning, mean daily sunshine is highest in January at 11.39 hours/day, and lowest in June at 5.47 hours/day. These averages can inform broad expectations, but sunshine duration is not day length and does not guarantee clear skies; check conditions close to departure. Recorded mean daily snowfall reaches its monthly high in August, at 1.67 mm/day. This amount alone cannot tell you whether snow will fall during a visit, accumulate, or support snow-based activities, so do not use it as a measure of snow cover or skiing conditions.
