[[File:Hobart-Winter wonderland (51 of 54) 2015.jpg|thumb|Snow in Hobart, 2015. While [[Rain and snow mixed|sleet]] is not rare in Hobart during the colder months, and many outer suburbs receive snow frequently, snow is rare in the inner suburbs.]]
Hobart has a cool to mild [[oceanic climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification|Köppen]]: ''Cfb''; [[Trewartha climate classification|Trewartha]]: ''Cflk'').<ref>{{cite book |last1=Tapper |first1=Andrew |last2=Tapper |first2=Nigel |title=The weather and climate of Australia and New Zealand |year=1996 |publisher=Oxford University Press |location=Melbourne, Australia |isbn=0-19-553393-3 |edition=1st |editor=Gray, Kathleen |page=300}}</ref> The highest temperature recorded was {{convert|41.8|°C}} on [[Angry Summer|4 January 2013]] and the lowest was {{convert|−2.8|°C}} on 25 June 1972 and 11 July 1981.<ref name="BoM" /> By global standards, Hobart has cool summers and mild winters for its latitude, being influenced by its seaside location. Nevertheless, the strong northerly winds from the Australian outback ensure that Hobart experiences temperatures above {{convert|35|C|F}} most years.<ref name=ClimateDataOnline>{{cite web|url=https://reg.bom.gov.au/climate/data/|title=Climate Data Online - Map search|publisher=[[Bureau of Meteorology]]|access-date=24 January 2024}}</ref> 

Annually, Hobart receives only 40.8 clear days. Compared to other major Australian cities, Hobart has the fewest daily average hours of sunshine, with only 5.9 hours per day.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.bom.gov.au/ |title=Australia's official weather forecasts & weather radar |website=Bureau of Meteorology |access-date=1 March 2006 |archive-date=12 September 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170912140134/http://www.bom.gov.au/ |url-status=live }}</ref> However, during the summer it has the most hours of daylight of any Australian city, with 15.3 hours on the summer solstice.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://sunrisesunsetmap.com/ |title=Worldwide sunrise, sunset, moonrise and moonset times for 2018 & 2019 |website=sunrisesunsetmap.com |access-date=2020-01-31 |archive-date=31 January 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200131130323/https://sunrisesunsetmap.com/ |url-status=live }}</ref> Hobart has nonetheless exceptionally sunny winters by Tasmanian standards, where its sun hours in June and July exceed those of [[Wagga Wagga]] in New South Wales (especially when accounting for latitudinal day length). [[Strathgordon, Tasmania|Strathgordon]] at the same latitude averages only 51 and 62 sun hours in June and July (compared with Hobart's 132 and 152 hours). This is due to the [[southeast Australian foehn|foehn effect]] created by the [[Central Highlands (Tasmania)|Central Highlands]] to the west.

Light [[frost]] occurs most years, though [[freezes|air frosts]] are uncommon.<ref name=ClimateDataOnline/> Although Hobart itself rarely receives [[snow in Australia|snow]] due to the foehn effect, the adjacent [[Mount Wellington (Tasmania)|kunanyi / Mount Wellington]] is frequently seen with a snowcap throughout the year. During the 20th century, the city itself has received snowfalls at sea level on average only once every 5 years; however, outer suburbs lying higher on the slopes of Mount Wellington receive snow more often, owing to the more exposed location coupled with their higher altitude. These snow-bearing winds often carry on through Tasmania and southern [[Victoria (Australia)|Victoria]], to the [[Snowy Mountains]] in north-east Victoria and southern [[New South Wales]] (though to a much lesser degree outside of winter). Nevertheless, [[Rain and snow mixed|sleet]] can occur in Hobart from June to September.  

Average sea temperatures range from {{convert|12.5|°C}} in September to {{convert|16.5|°C}} in February.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.seatemperature.org/australia-pacific/australia/hobart.htm |title=Hobart Water Temperatures |website=World Sea Temperatures |access-date=1 June 2017 |archive-date=5 July 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170705113055/https://www.seatemperature.org/australia-pacific/australia/hobart.htm |url-status=live }}</ref>
