Depends on where you are. New Zealand has a very variable climate. It stretches from the sub tropical north to cold temperate in the south a distance of more than a thousand miles. There are mountains which never rise above freezing and very warm inland valleys in summer. One of these valleys in the south island has New Zealand's coldest and hottest temperatures.
