The North Island of New Zealand extends 829km from latitude 34°25'S for Cape Reinga and to 41°37'S for Cape Palliser. It ranges in altitude from sea level to 600m in populated areas and up to the highest peak of Mount Ruapehu at 2797m.

In July, the coldest month, the Mean Daily minimumtemperature in the North Island main centres varies depending on the location. Some examples are:

* Kaitaia in the north and at sea level, 8.5°C * Taupo at an altitude of 350m, 2.2°C * Wellington at sea level in the south, 6.3°C and the corresponding Mean Daily maximum temperatures for July are:

* Kaitaia 15.6°C * Taupo 11.2°C * Wellington 11.4°C The climate of New Zealand is temperate, so moderate, and because New Zealand is geographically very isolated the weather is not influenced by a continent, so it varies less with the seasons than places near or on a continent.
