New Zealand Weather
Located in the southern hemisphere, New Zealand’s seasons are opposite to those found in the northern hemisphere.
Spring: September-November
Summer: December-February
Fall: March-May
Winter: June-August
Weather in New Zealand is totally dependent on whether one is on the North or South Island. The North Island enjoys a subtropical climate with winters characterized by heavy rainfalls. The South Island varies more than the North with warm summers but it can also experience cool winters with temperatures dropping between -10 to -15 degrees celsius.
Most places in New Zealand receive more than 2,000 hours of sunshine a year and during the summer months, people can enjoy the sun until around 9:00 at night.
