What the weather holds for Hobart today is a mix of cool, cloudy conditions with a chance of light showers, as a trough lingers over the Derwent Estuary and the south-east coast. The live forecast above shows the current temperature and conditions, with the afternoon likely to see clearing from the west, though the city centre and coastal suburbs may feel the breeze.
Will the showers clear by evening?
A weak front is drifting across the Tasman Sea, keeping a cloud band over the eastern half of the state. For Hobart, the best chance of a dry spell comes after 4pm as the trough shifts inland. The Derwent River and Bruny Island areas should see the sun break through first. Neighbouring Launceston remains drier under a ridge of high pressure.
What about the weekend?
Saturday looks brighter but still cool, with a high building from the Great Australian Bight bringing settled weather. Sunday could see another brief shower near the coast as a new trough approaches from the west. If you’re planning outdoor activities, the Mount Wellington summit may stay windy, so check the what the weather page for updates.
Is it a good day for a walk along the waterfront?
It’s passable if you dress for a breeze. The stapylton radar and bom radar brisbane aren’t relevant here—check bom weather victoria for southern systems. The Melbourne Weather page shows similar patterns for the Bass Strait.
Should I expect frosts in the morning?
Not in the city itself, but inland valleys like Huonville could see a light chill. The bom weather radar on the Bureau site shows the cloud band keeping the urban area warmer than the Derwent riverbanks.
What’s the best what the weather app for Hobart?
The Bureau of Meteorology’s app is the most reliable for this region. For marine conditions, Severe Weather Warning pages cover the Tasman Sea forecasts.
