Zealand enjoys a range of temperatures approximate to those experienced by Australia’s south eastern seaboard. Free from the influence of any close land mass, yearly temperature variations are small — approximately 10C variation between winter and summer.The north of the country tends to be sub-tropical and the south, temperate. Mountain ranges extend down much of the length of New Zealand, with the regions lying west of the ranges experiencing much higher rainfalls than those to the east. The drier eastern regions average over 2000 hours of sunshine a year and contain the main wine-growing areas and summer resorts.Snow is largely confined to the alpine areas of the central North Island and the Southern Alps, though it can fall to low levels in the deep south for a day or so at a time.
