Climate statistics for Australian locations
Hobart - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Australia's most southerly city. It has an oceanic climate with cool-mild conditions year-round. Frost and snow is rare at sea level but is common on Mt. Wellington at anytime of year. Very hot conditions are possible on occasion when northerly winds arrive from continental Australia however these are quite rare with only 6 days above 30C / 86F per year, on average.

Mild and boring year round. However, it's one of the few locations in Australia I could see myself living in so that elevates it to a D.

[dunno what to put here]

Such a boring climate but very comfortable. Can't give it any better than a C-, which is a slightly lower than London.

[Galaxyman]

D+. Cold, cloudy, drizzly very boring maritime climate with stuff all thunderstorm activity.

Only reason it escapes an F is that there are a few hot days in summer and the fact that it is not Macquarie Island.

Hobart's pathetic excuse for a summer earns it an automatic F. There are other bad things about it too, such as low rainfall, excessive cloudiness (considering there is not much rain), and the lack of thunderstorms.

[ChesterNZ]

Slightly warmer and sunnier than Christchurch (milder winter nights being the biggest difference). C.

[Weatherfan2]

E. It escapes an F due to general year round mildness.

[Mac15]

A record low of -3c and an average low of 4.5c.. Hmm that must be VERY humid and cloudy there.

[MrMarbles]

C, which is my typical rating for oceanic climates. Summers are too cool. The number of rainy days is too high. Sunshine is below average though quite decent for an oceanic climate.

I give this one an E-. The ONLY reason it isn't an F is because the summer stats are interesting. It has potential to get very hot, and yet averages just barely over 70 and for only 2 months. On the other side, Seattle has hotter averages during summer, but cooler records.

This climate doesn't get cold enough during the winter (Seattle even gets colder!) and has way too many rainy days per year. (Like Seattle! lol. Although sunshine hours between the two has slightly less than a ten hour difference!)
