About

New Zealand's temperate maritime climate keeps summers mild and winters largely free of snow at low altitude, so a visit rarely depends on severe weather. Seasons here run opposite to the northern hemisphere, with summer falling between December and February and winter between June and August. Traffic drives on the left, and hire cars remain the usual way to reach places on the larger islands. English is the main language, while te reo Māori is also official, which is why Māori place names appear throughout the country.
