WEATHER in Auckland and Wellington in Feb and March

[hotHELL]

Does anybody know?

Very nice apparently - Summer turning into Autumn. That's when we are supposed to be making a visit (next year)

We were in New Zealand in 2002 and we had lovely weather

We were in a Campervan in both islands in Jan to March

will be late summer going into Autumn and we are having a fairly good summer so HOPEFULLY it'll be lovely and warm. the nights can be colder than you'd think though

NZ weather can be insanely local and you can easily get 4 seasons in one day. Wellington is pretty windy whenever.

the sun is bloody hot and you can get burnt v.easily even when it's overcast. so - hats at all times, lots of sunscreen, a jumper/hoodie/similar whatever for the evenings and rain macs with normal light clothing for the days should cover it.

4 Seasons in one day - that must be an NZ saying MrsJC? Weren't Crowded House from NZ?

My godmother lives north of Auckland and we had a fantastic holiday there, they say if you don't like the weather wait 5 mins!
She was really strict with us about suncream though because of thinning ozone layer

ditto - while there are obviously exceptions to every rule Feb/Mar are without doubt our hottest and best months. The schools go back 7th Feb or just before so prices for accomodation, car hire, queues etc associated with peak holiday season drop. Beaches are quieter, although it is never Ibiza packed here . DOn't be deceived by temperatures though it has been 24 degrees here over the weekend (Auckland) which might not sound hot but the intensity of the sun has to be felt to understand, you can literally feel your skin blistering and burning - it really is sun block, hats, shade etc when there is no cloud cover. We have a pool but had just had too much swimming and sun by yesterday so spent the afternoon watching a dvd, eating popcorn and ventured outside after 6 when it had cooled down. hth, you have definately picked the best months.

Ouch the burning sun!! Auckland dweller myself, and sibble has it bang on - temperature may only be 24, but the burn!! We have a 'rule' about not letting our LOs out in the sun between 11 and 4pm, and if they do go out then it's with layer upon layer of sun protection, and only for 20 minutes or so. In fact, last summer I got sunburnt @ 5pm in late Feb. Der. Wondered why I was so warm all evening!!

Thank you will pass this on to friend who is going there!
