Auckland - Post Report Question and Answers
What is the overall climate: is it extremely hot or cold, wet or dry, at any time of year, for example?
Auckland climate is very comfortable; summers get into the low 80s with mild humidity, winter lows are in the 40s, no snow, but lots of rain in the winter. If you want snow you can drive to a ski area on a volcano on the North Island or fly to ski fields on South Island in the winter. - Jun 2019
The seasons are reversed: summer starts in December, so if you like snow at Xmas, you'll find it weird. It's warm from mid-November though to late March. July/August can be cold and damp with a lot of rain, but rarely below freezing. Usual daytime temperatures in winter are around 15 degrees Celsius, and in summer around 24C degrees. - Feb 2015
Can be rainy and windy, but doesn't freeze. - Apr 2012
Cool, WINDY, and rainy in the winter months (June, July, August) with temperatures ranging in the 40 to 55 degree F range. Summer months are glorious, not too hot -- but the sun is very strong due to the thin ozone layer so one must wear sunscreen at all times. - Jul 2011
The locals say they love it because you can experience four seasons in one day. They aren't kidding!Try planning any sunny day activity. I'm guessing there is an 80% chance of rain most days. Locals, affectionately known as 'Kiwis' will tell you that this is why their country is so green. Possibly. I know the farmers love it. Don;t be surprised to see sheep on the hills in the city. It seems farming is allowed anyplace. Zoning laws are pretty much non-existent. You will find dairies (kind've like a small general store) alongside homes in the various neighborhoods. - Mar 2010
