West Hobart’s temperature is shown in the live forecast above; expect a mostly cloudy day with a moderate chance of afternoon drizzle. Winds from the north-west around 20–30 km/h keep conditions cool for the inner-suburb suburb.
What do the numbers mean for West Hobart today?
The maximum range sits 2–3°C below Hobart’s city average because West Hobart’s elevated slopes catch more cloud. Overnight lows hover near 8–10°C. Combined with north-westerly winds, the “feels-like” temperature will be 1–2°C cooler during the afternoon.
Rain chance and timing
A 40–50% chance of light rain between 2pm and 6pm, mostly sprinkles under 1 mm. The cloud deck should thin after sunset, giving a partly clear evening. No thunderstorm risk is forecast.
Will West Hobart be windier than other Hobart suburbs?
Yes, its position on the western slopes means north-westerly winds are slightly stronger and more gusty than in sheltered eastern suburbs like Bellerive. Gusts to 40 km/h are possible mid-afternoon.
Should I plan outdoor activities today?
Morning is the best window; the chance of drizzle rises from 1pm. If you’re gardening or walking, aim to finish by 2pm to avoid the light showers. UV index is moderate (4), so sunscreen is still advised.
How does West Hobart’s weather compare to Hobart’s CBD today?
West Hobart runs about 1°C cooler and 5–10% cloudier than the city centre because of its altitude (150–200 metres). The CBD may see a slightly lower rain chance (30–40%) and less wind.
