Hi Kerry. Winter varies - 1,500 kilometres north to south is quite a range. Auckland is temperate. Temperatures during the day around 12 deg C. On a clear night we can get a 1 deg frost a few nights over the winter. Warm days are 17 deg. Cold southerlies take us down to 6 deg C = brrrrrr. We get patchy rain. I take an umbrella to golf and maybe have to shelter for 20 minutes total in 5 minute increments or maybe 10 minutes. In a decade, we've been rained right off a golf course only 4 times. We pretty much go out unless it's raining cats and dogs. Auckland's weather is described as "If you don't like the weather, wait 10 minutes". Mid-winter night runs from 5.30 pm to 7.30 am give or take a bit. Kerikeri up north is called the winterless north. Never a frost. Usually 2 deg warmer than Auckland. Invercargill, Queenstown, Christchurch down south are like London winters for cold and dark!! Though the air is clean and there's less cloud. Mqurice
