New Zealand has a temperate maritime climate, so summers are mild and winters rarely bring snow at low altitude, which is worth knowing when planning a visit around a skating session.

Small earthquakes are common because the country sits on the boundary of the Pacific and Australian tectonic plates, a detail that rarely affects a day out in Timaru.
