New Zealand’s climate is diverse – the north of the North Island can have warm subtropical weather in summer, while inland alpine areas of the South Island can have heavy snow and temperatures as low as -10☌ (14☏) in winter. Locals like to joke that you can experience four seasons in one day! It pays to be prepared for what you might encounter on your travels. Temperatures in New Zealand are generally mild, but the weather can vary a lot around the country and might change quickly as we are a relatively narrow island nation.
