New Zealand climate

Answer 1

From a resident of Wellington, New Zealand.

The Climate in New Zealand is very like the UK South West, but because of some very high mountains (the Southern Alps), the weather varies enormously form place to place, also like the UK. The air temperature in Summer is generally less than UK, but the Sun is much much hotter, making you feel much hotter than in the UK! NZ is a long country aligned North South, in the Southern Hemisphere, so the further South you go in general the colder it gets. The North Island at the North end is general hot, subtropical and can be wet. Nelson on the South Island has more sunshine hours recorded than anywhere else in the world and is where sun screen lotions are tested.

The hole in the Ozone layer covers New Zealand so the Ultra Violet (UV) levels are much higher and you should wear a hat when out for long periods in the sun.
New Zealanders (Kiwis) use Celsius.

In New Zealand, summer can be quite hot, mainly in January-March, ranging from an average of 22 degrees Celsius. In the Winter, New Zealand has a temperature of around 17 degrees, and in spring-december, usually 18-20 degrees.
