Chilly, short days with occasional sleet - fine for cozy town visits but not ideal for long outdoor excursions.

Mild, comfortable summers perfect for cycling, beaches nearby, and outdoor cafés - my favourite time to explore Zealand.
Autumn
Brisk, windy, and increasingly wet - colourful countryside and fewer tourists, though expect layered clothing for unpredictable weather.
