Climate Map of New Zealand
If you study the climate map of New Zealand, you will notice that there are large variances in temperature, rainfall, and sunshine hours throughout New Zealand. New Zealand climate is ever changing, and even though there are four distinct seasons, conditions can quickly change, even in the warmer months, particularly in the higher alpine regions. The New Zealand climate is mainly affected by two things, the ocean and the alps. Whilst the far north has sub tropical conditions in summer, areas in the south can have temperatures as low as -10 Celsius during the winter months. Snow and ice are common in the colder months and roads may close due to the conditions. New Zealand Climate Seasons are: Winter-June, July, August During winter, snow covers the mountains in many areas on both islands, and rainfall increases in the north. However many areas on the south island have little rainfall in winter (great for skiing and getting out and about with your camera). Spring-September, October, November The season of birth, with new lambs appearing and plants starting to bloom. Spring can still be frosty, and snow will still be on the alps. Summer-December, January, February During summer, days are long and sunny in most areas, and with summer daylight saving, daylight can last to beyond 9 p.m. in most areas. Autumn-March, April, May Things begin to cool off again during autumn, although conditions will still be clear and sunny in most regions. Autumn brings vibrant new colours as leaves change, and as with all other seasons, photo opportunities abound.
