Hobart stuck out in the cold

Kim Westcott, Monday October 12, 2015 - 16:04 AEDT

After a warm and sunny run last week, Hobart is shivering as the mercury struggles to make it into the mid-teens today.

Last week, daytime temperatures averaged 25 degrees. This includes the warmest day this early in October in over a century, recording nearly 32 degrees.

Today, conditions couldn't be more different. A gusty front has brought showers, wind and a pool of cold air to the city, with the mercury peaking at 11 degrees this afternoon. With significant windchill due to the strong southerlies, it feels more like eight degrees outside.

Thankfully, the chilly weather won't stick around too much longer. Temperatures will jump back up to the high teens on Wednesday, peaking in the high twenties on Thursday.
