four distinct seasons. Tasmania is a very green island. It has a large
number of national parks and beautiful forests. The number of people
that live on the island is small which makes it a very peaceful
island. Not a lot of tourists visit this island. However, Tasmania is
very charming. Tasmania offers beautiful walks and many charming
colonial villages can be visited. Many vineyards also can be found in
which you can enjoy the crops. The best time to visit Tasmania is
either during its spring or during its summer. This is because autumn

degrees Celsius on average. In the higher regions subzero temperatures
are not uncommon. Tasmania was named after its famous Dutch discoverer
Abel Tasman.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
