South Island seasons run opposite to the northern hemisphere, so summer falls from December to February and winter from June to August, which shapes when the camping season peaks. English is the main language and te reo Māori is also official, so Māori place names appear on signs throughout the country. A temperate maritime climate keeps summers mild, and snow rarely settles at low altitude in winter.
