If Tasmania is said to have unpredictable weather, then Fern Tree's weather is even more so. The phrase "four seasons in one day" is by no means impossible in Fern Tree. There are many micro-climates in Fern Tree and it is not uncommon to find residents who live on the sunny ridges enjoying a warm winters day while those near the shaded gullies have frost on the ground all day. |
| In general we are 3 or 4 degrees colder and nearly twice as wet as Hobart. At about 400m above sea level Fern Tree lies just above the 1100mm isohyet (line of equal annual rainfall). And yes, it can be windy here too, with gusts coming from any direction because of the effect of the mountain topography. |
