New Zealand Weather in January

April 1, 2017 by Mark Perkins Leave a Comment

January the start of the New Year and everyone is excited about what is install for them in the coming months. It is also the time New Zealanders (Kiwis) have their annual holidays, so the crucial question is what the New Zealand weather in January is going to be?

Right in the middle of the New Zealand Summer is January and typical of New Zealand weather, it can be quite changeable. It is not unheard of to have rain and even the odd sprinkling of snow on the very high mountains in the south island. However, the temperature tends to be starting to warm up quite nicely.

The odd shower or two is not uncommon in January, and as you can see from the photograph above, there is a slight dusting of snow on the mountains. So again I stress the four seasons in a day, be prepared for all weathers. The temperatures tend to be comfortable throughout the month but a good chance of rain.
