Weather and Climate

In Tasmania, expect a mix of wind, rain and sunshine at any time of year. Weather conditions can change quickly; locals claim it often feels like ‘four seasons in one day’.

The dynamic and notoriously wild weather of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area in Southwest Tasmania is part of what makes this remote corner so special. Exposed to the strong westerly winds of Roaring Forties, it’s a place of raw, untamed beauty. During summer, daily temperatures generally range from 15 to 25°C, with overnight minimums averaging between 9 and 11°C. It can be moderately cool when windy.

Tasmania’s east coast has a temperate maritime climate. From June to November, mean temperatures range between 6°C and 19°C. It can be moderately cool when windy.

Whatever the weather, On Board Odalisque III offers a welcoming and sheltered home in the wilderness.
