Best time to go to New Zealand
New Zealand has mild temperatures, moderately high rainfall, and many hours of sunshine throughout most of the year. The north of New Zealand is subtropical and temperate. The warmest half the year is from September to April. The summer months of December, January and February are an ideal time for outdoor pursuits. Spring is from September to November. Autumn is from March to May and winter from June to August.
Maximum daytime temperatures vary from 15 to 32°C in summer, 10 to 25°C in autumn and spring, and 5 to 18°C in winter. However, winter is the ideal time to warm up close to an open fire in one of the many splendid lodges dotted around the country – or even to venture out to the numerous ski slopes found in New Zealand.
