Current Weather in Queenstown

The weather in Queenstown is ever changing, and even though there are four distinct seasons, conditions can quickly change, even in the warmer months.

In winter, Queenstown can have temperatures as low as -10 Celsius. Snow and ice are common in the colder months and roads may close due to the conditions. Chains may need to be fitted to your vehicle.

Queenstown Seasons are:

Winter-June, July, August

During winter, snow covers the mountains around town, and the ski resorts (Coronet Peak and The Remarkables) are in full swing. Conditions are reasonably dry with little rain (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 mountains around Queenstown.

Summer-December, January, February

During summer, days are long and sunny, 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 generally clear and sunny. Autumn brings vibrant new colours as leaves change, and as with all other seasons, photo opportunities abound. The autumn colours in nearby Arrowtown are stunning.
