Tasmania's reputation for cold, wet weather is justified by Hobart's winter (June to August), during which a gloomy, overcast pall is permanently cast over the sky. Snow can be seen in the hills around Hobart between September and November, when the wind is also usually up. By way of compensation, summer (December to February) delivers warm swimming weather and plenty of sun. The most temperate time of year is autumn (March to May).
