Seasons in New Zealand run opposite to the northern hemisphere, with summer from December to February and winter from June to August. New Zealand has a temperate maritime climate, so summers are mild and winters rarely bring snow at low altitude. Hāngī, a meal cooked in an earth oven, and the pavlova dessert are both part of New Zealand food culture. English is the main language and te reo Māori is also official, so Māori place names are used throughout the country.
