The battle of climates in Australia's southerly neighbour

Tasmania is a mainly maritime climate with variations throughout the landmass that will make choosing difficult.

Hobart: the warmest minimums on the island thanks to UHI and a coastal location



Launceston: the 2nd largest city, with wetter winters and more pronounced summers



Devonport: On the northern coast, Devonport is heavily moderated by the ocean giving it nothing in the way of heat but very stable temperatures compared to the rest of the state.



Ouse: The place with the warmest summer maximums in Tasmania and has a mediterrenean precipitation pattern.



Swansea: located on the eastern coast, Swansea receives some of the strongest heatwaves in relation to its average temps.



Strahan: on the isolated west coast Strahan barely reaches 20C in summer and has regularly heavy falls from cold fronts battering the coastline.



Mount Read: a lovely subtropical paradise



Liawenee: located in the highlands, near ski slopes it receives occasional snowfall in winter.

Launceston for being sunniest. It's close though with all the locations with sun hours being a C.

Liawenee; lovely winters!

"Occasional snowfall" my arse
Liawenee, TAS (1,055 m AMSL) = 51.5 snowy days

Untitled Document

51.5 snowy days annually don't sound particularly "occasional" to me

Not too surprised Angler chose a climate like that Anyway, what do you think of Mount Read?

My choice was obviously Launceston (A-) by the way.
