Weather

Weather in New Zealand is very changeable throughout the year and all months can be moderately wet and windy. Fine sunny spells can happen at any time of year but the departures have been timed to coincide with the best chance of good weather over the New Zealand spring and summer. All the same, you should also come prepared for rain.

The temperatures in Auckland are approximately 11C-30C (52F-86F) in October-March. However, it will be slightly cooler in October. The weather on the South Island is slightly cooler with temperatures approximately 7C-20C (45F-68F). The sun in New Zealand is strong and even at mild temperatures we highly recommend good sunscreen, sunhats and sunglasses. As New Zealand is in the Southern Hemisphere, the seasons are opposite to those in the UK/Europe and North America. Summer runs from December to February, spring is from September to November, and autumn is March to May. Adverse weather may require changes to the itinerary which the leader will discuss with the group.
