Hobart has a mild, temperate climate. The warmest months, January and February, are also the driest. It's often cool and cloudy in Hobart, but this doesn't prevent a lot of outdoor activity. The city itself, does not get as much of the full wind and rain because it is protected by Mt Wellington from the worst of the weather from the west, and to some extent by Mt Nelson in the south.
