It depends entirely on the time of year and the part of New Zealand you are in. Because New Zealand is in the Southern Hemisphere it's seasons are opposite to those in the Northern Hemisphere thus it's summer is the North's winter and vice versa. According to NIWA (National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research ) " ... New Zealand's climate is complex and varies from warm subtropical in the far north to cool temperate climates in the far south, with severe alpine conditions in the mountainous areas. Mountain chains extending the length of New Zealand provide a barrier for the prevailing westerly winds, dividing the country into dramatically different climate regions. The West Coast of the South Island is the wettest area of New Zealand, whereas the area to the east of the mountains, just over 100 km away, is the driest. Most areas of New Zealand have between 600 and 1600 mm of rainfall, spread throughout the year with a dry period during the summer. Over the northern and central areas of New Zealand more rainfall falls in winter than in summer, whereas for much of the southern part of New Zealand, winter is the season of least rainfall. Mean annual temperatures range from 10°C in the south to 16°C in the north of New Zealand. The coldest month is usually July and the warmest month is usually January or February. In New Zealand generally there are relatively small variations between summer and winter temperatures, although inland and to the east of the ranges the variation is greater (up to 14°C). Temperatures also drop about 0.7°C for every 100 m of altitude. Sunshine hours are relatively high in areas that are sheltered from the west and most of New Zealand would have at least 2000 hours annually. The midday summer solar radiation index (UVI) is often very high in most places and can be extreme in northern New Zealand and in mountainous areas. Autumn and spring UVI values can be high in most areas. Most snow in New Zealand falls in the mountain areas. Snow rarely falls in the coastal areas of the North Island and west of the South Island, although the east and south of the South Island may experience some snow in winter. Frosts can occur anywhere in New Zealand and usually form on cold nights with clear skies and little wind. . . "
Tropical and humid in the north, windy in the middle and cold in the south.
It largely depends on what season and area you're in.
In Northern areas summers are generally hot and dry, normal temperatures (as in, not the height of summer) ranging in the high 20s and early to mid 30s (celcius). After around March weather turns cooler, and winters tend to bring a lot of rain but not usually snow - except on mountainous terrain like Mt. Ruapaehu which is popular for skiing.
In Southern areas Summers have the potential to reach temperatures of 30, but generally don't. Winter is bitter in the deep south (as it is close to the Antarctic) and it rains alot. ALOT.
Wellington, the capital, is noted for it's unseasonable winds
It's mid summer - very hot by NZ standards. Normally quite dry too. Temperatures in the central North Island are normally in mid 20s.
in the summer it is hot with a little rain
it is mostly humid today
pleasant
New Zealand Climate and WeatherNew Zealand weather and climate is of paramount importance to the people of New Zealand, as many New Zealander's make their living from the land. New Zealand has mild temperatures, moderately high rainfall, and many hours of sunshine throughout most of the country. New Zealand's climate is dominated by two main geographical features: the mountains and the sea.
New Zealand has the best trees, grass, life and freedom... if u want a life,,, go live there u can almost hear the trees growing,, the grass over there is so clean, pure and beautiful...... i love new zealand's nature.. its the best, in my opinion!!<3<3<3 <:>new zealand<:>
Roy Kerr, a mathematician from New Zealand, discovered the solution to the equations of general relativity that describes a rotating black hole.
One is a tree that is native to New Zealand, the other is scientifically listed as a shrub that is also native to New Zealand.
Given climate as the determinant, and assuming that infers not too many extreme events, perhaps Nelson, or its geographically close region Horowhenua may fit your needs. But climate is a fairly narrow parameter. There are many better regions for growing fruit of one sort or another, and various recreation activities also have climate parameters. And some will aver that a challenging climate is good for personal development.
Mild and rainy.

No, cocoa is not produced in New Zealand. Most cocoa is produced in the area that is 10 degrees to either side of the equator because it grows best in a humid and tropical climate.

Scotland's climate is similar to the south of New Zealand's South Island.
Auckland, on the North Island of New Zealand, lies in the temperate zone.
