The Climate of New Zealand


Hi! I’ll introduce about the climate of New Zealand. I’ll explain two points: New Zealand Seasons, and New Zealand Temperatures.

In New Zealand, it does not have continental climates in most parts, so it does not have a large range of temperature. However, the weather of New Zealand can change unexpectedly. For instance, tropical cyclones quickly disappear. Because of this, you should prepare in case it happens sudden changes of weather and temperature.Next, I'll introduce seasons. In New Zealand, they have four seasons. (as follow)

Next, I'll introduce about temparature in New Zealand. In New Zealand, it has a largely mild climate. In the north, it has subtropical weather during summer, and in inland alpine areas of the South Island, it is as cold as -10 C in winter, most of New Zealand lies close to the coast, which means mild temperatures, moderate rainfall, and abundant(enough) sunshine. New Zealand lies in the Southern Hemisphere, so the average temperature decreases. The north of New Zealand is subtropical and the south temperate. The warmest months are December, January and February, and the coldest months are June, July and August. In summer, the average maximum temperature ranges from 20 to 30ºC and in winter from 10 to 15ºC.
