Hobart Overnight Temperature Confusion
March 10th, 2024. Bureau of Meteorology. The overnight temperature in Hobart (9-10th) was reported in the media to be the hottest for 112 years. Official records show a discrepancy. The March record minimum of 21.1 (March, 1906) and the overall minimum record of 24.7 °C, set in February 1912 remain. The discrepancy is due to timing. Temperatures above 26°C were recorded overnight in Hobart but by about 6am on 10th March, the temperature had started to fall meaning in the 24 hours to 9am, the minimum was 16.9°C.
