FOR those who like their summer hot, you should have been in Scamander on January 3.
It was there the state recorded its hottest January day in two years, with 37.2 degrees.
If you prefer your days cooler, Launceston and Burnie may have been the ideal places to be on January 10.
It was then the two places shivered through their coldest January days in seven years, with temperatures reaching 16.6 degrees and 18.4 degrees.
The same day, snow fell on Ben Lomond.
Bureau of Meteorology meteorologist Lorien Martin said rainfall had been heading for below-average figures for the month until Monday's downpour saw most areas come close to normal.
However, rainfall at St Helens and Scamander especially were below average.
If you're worried about the rain not filling up Tasmania's lakes, don't worry, it's definitely done that.
Lakes across the state are fuller this year compared with previous years, with higher than normal storage levels.
Rain and temperatures in the mid 20s are forecast for Launceston for the rest of the week.
