New Zealand Weather in April

April 1, 2017 by Mark Perkins Leave a Comment

The Easter break usually occurs around April, along with the school holidays and as such is a traditional time for that last bit of travel before the winter starts to bite. So what's the New Zealand Weather in April likely to bring?

Right in the middle of the New Zealand Autumn or Fall is April and by this time of year all the "exotic trees", non-native, will be well into their colour change. Producing those iconic "post card" scenes from places like Arrowtown in the Central Otago region

April in New Zealand and the weather is starting to drop, and we are out looking to purchase the woollies (warm woollen clothing) ready to embrace winter.

Nelson, Napier and Lake Tekapo are still receiving a good number of daylight hours. April can also be very mixed with some quite beautiful days but also extended periods of rain. As previously mentioned, remember to dress in layers and be prepared for whatever weather may eventuate.
