Climate
With a similar climate to southern Australia, Tasmania enjoys warm, dry summers and cool, wet winters. However, climate in Tasmania is more 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 1000m (3280ft) in July and August.
Required clothing
Cottons and linens are worn in summer and warmer medium weights in winter. Waterproof clothing is advisable throughout the year, particularly in highland areas and jumpers are recommended for the evenings, all year round.
