New Zealand has a temperate maritime climate, so summers are mild and winters rarely bring snow at low altitude. Seasons run opposite to the northern hemisphere, with summer from December to February and winter from June to August. The country sits on the boundary of the Pacific and Australian tectonic plates, so small earthquakes are common. Tūī, kererū and other native birds are common, and dolphins, fur seals and seabirds are seen around the coast.
