What matters for plumbing in Launceston

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.
