NZ

Even though New Zealand is located in the South Pacific, it is far from tropical. When travelling it is important to carry many things to suit any condition.

In New Zealand, the rain often come down. The climate frequently changes. In February is the most warm and in July is the most cold. The difference between temperature in NZ and in Japan is about 9 degree.

New Zealand has four seasons in a day. So sometime you need long sleeves in summer. New Zealand also has one of the highest UV ratings in the world. It is important to wear sunscreen and a hat whenever you are spending extended periods of time outdoor.

Weather conditions also differ depending on which part of the country you are in. The North Island is sub-tropical – with warm humid weather. The South Island, on the other hand, is the first port of call for antarctic blasts. This unique climate makes New Zealand one of the most picturesque and diverse countries in the world – alpine ranges, tropical rainforests and golden beaches, all in one compact place!
