Seasons:

Tasmania, Australia’s most southern state, experiences four distinctive seasons of weather throughout the year.

In the summer (December to February) the days are typically sunny and warm, with the average temperature sitting at 21 – 23.5°C (69.8 – 74.3°F). In the winter (June to August) that changes drastically with the average temperature dropping to 10.8 – 12°C (51.4 – 53.6°F).

During spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May) the temperatures even out and the days turn typically mild and enjoyable, with the average daily temperature sitting between 14 – 21.2°C (57.2 – 70.2°F).

The Tailor recommendations:

“Launceston and northern Tasmania is the perfect place to stay pre or post Cradle Mountain or Bay of Fires walks, Pepperbush Adventure tour or golfing experience at Barnbougle Dunes. Make sure to visit Delamere Vineyard, they make some amazing wines and also happen to be owned by my brother and sister-in-law, so only a little biased!”
