Auckland Weather

As with all southern hemisphere destinations, Auckland's winter corresponds to summer in the UK and vice versa. Temperatures there average about 15°C during the winter, and hover around 22°C in the summer, so the weather is mild all year round. Rain can occur throughout the year, with quite heavy rain possible anytime, so remember to pack an umbrella or waterproof jacket.

Auckland's Tourist Season

December to March is the peak time for tourism in Auckland, with prices at their highest during the Christmas and New Year holiday period. However, the shoulder seasons, October and November, or April and May, still have pretty high temperatures but the advantage of cheaper flights and accommodation, plus fewer other tourists at the sights. To really get the best deals, the low season is perfect as the weather is still pretty good, although you may want to take some warmer clothes.
