Hobart is facing a cloudy and cool day, with a light shower possible near the Derwent this morning. The live forecast above shows a moderate south-easterly breeze and temperatures peaking in the mid-teens – typical for late autumn in the city.

What’s driving today’s weather?

A trough moving across Bass Strait is dragging moist air over the southeast, keeping skies overcast. The chance of a brief shower remains until early afternoon, then clearing from the west. Winds will ease later, but the cloud cover will linger into the evening.

How does today compare to the seasonal average?

Today’s high is a couple of degrees below the May average of 15°C, but not unusual for this time of year. Overnight lows will drop to around 8°C, in line with typical autumn minima. For those checking the hobart weather 7 day forecast, this cool pattern is expected to persist into the weekend.
