Launceston averages 25.3 nights a year at or below 0 degrees and 57.6 at or below 2 degrees, with a July mean minimum of 2.4 degrees. That is roughly twenty times as many freezing nights as Hobart, so outdoor taps, exposed pipework and solar hot water lines here genuinely need lagging.

EPA Tasmania reports that on a smoky winter evening in Launceston PM2.5 can sit near 50 micrograms per cubic metre for several hours. Launceston's 9am winter winds average only about 6 km/h and 9am humidity reaches 92 per cent, so smoke from a badly installed or poorly run wood heater hangs over the valley.
