A country with a climate affected by numerous factors, New Zealand features moderate weather which shifts from cool to warm. An abundance of mountains, as well as its isolation in the ocean, are two factors that lead to this type of weather. Temperatures between winter and summer do not differ strikingly, which makes New Zealand a pleasant location year-round. Summer temperatures average 70 degrees Fahrenheit, and they sometimes top 81 degrees Fahrenheit. Temperatures seen in winter are seldom lower than 50 degrees Fahrenheit. However, these temperatures can vary based on elevation. In this video, http://www.WatchMojo.com profiles the beautiful weather in the island country of New Zealand.
The climate in New Zealand is affected by various factors. For example, its oceanic isolation, as well as its mountainous geography can result in a change in weather. For the most part, New Zealand enjoys a temperate climate, which moves from cool to warm. The warmest months in New Zealand are January and February, with winter peaking in July. However, temperatures do not vary markedly between winter and summer months.
Summer temperatures average 70°F, and they sometimes top 81°F. Temperatures seen in winter are seldom lower than 50 °F. However, these temperatures can vary based on elevation. Snow is rarely seen in New Zealand, except in the mountains, and in the far south where some snow may occur. Frosts, however, are not unlikely throughout the country.
New Zealand receives moderately high rainfall, although its averages are characteristic of temperate climates. Depending on location, mean rainfall can vary between 25 inches, to 60 inches, although extremes are seen.
New Zealand can experience high and even extreme levels of UV rays in some places because of its lack of air pollution. Most places in this country receive around 2000 hours of sunshine per year.
New Zealand may not experience temperature extremes between summer and winter, but its weather can change quickly and suddenly, even within one day. Despite the uncertainty, there is never a bad time to visit this island country. New ZealandtraveltourismdestinationattractionsweatherclimatetemperaturesummermountainssunshineComments ∧
