When is the best month to visit New Zealand?

The best time to go is between September and November. At this time, the weather is getting warmer and all kinds of flowers are in full bloom. The more classic picture is the lupine flower blooming next to Lake Tekapo. Generally speaking, the climate in New Zealand is quite suitable all year round. The main thing that tourists need to pay attention to is the large temperature difference between day and night. Maybe it's appropriate to wear a T-shirt at noon, but in the evening it's time to put on a jacket.

In addition, the air in New Zealand is particularly good. The so-called "100% Pure New Zealand" has a negative impact: the ultraviolet rays are extremely strong. You may get sunburned in less than ten minutes with bare arms, so be sure to Remember to wear sunscreen. Another benefit of traveling during this season is flexibility and affordability. Because it is Shoulder Season, the prices for air tickets, accommodation, and car rentals are moderate, and you don’t have to compete with other tourists for these resources.

Of course, the rainfall in this season is relatively more than in other seasons. Beautiful scenery like Mount Cook may be missed due to heavy fog, but it rarely rains in New Zealand for a whole day. When traveling to New Zealand, the most attractive thing is its pure and magnificent natural scenery. If you encounter bad weather, you may have to make some discounts. At the beginning of 2015, my family and I took an 18-day self-driving trip to the South Island of New Zealand. We were "lucky" to encounter a "drought" that was rare in 10 years.

It rained only 2 days in 3 weeks. Although weather is one of the most uncontrollable factors in travel, choosing a reasonable travel season can most effectively reduce the impact of weather on travel quality. Another great benefit of traveling in summer is New Zealand’s fresh fruits. In January, the cherries sold in supermarkets can even be as low as more than ten yuan per catty, which is enough for you to eat a catty a day.
