How's the Weather?

New Zealand temperatures range from sub-tropical in the north to temperate in the south. The main mountain ranges are a barrier to the prevailing westerly winds causing higher rainfall in the west. Remember, New Zealand is reversed-- warm northerlies come from the north and southerlies blow in from the Antarctic.

Wear old shoes and a waterproof hairdo. You will get wet-- that's why they call New Zealand the Land of the Long White Cloud.
