The mercantile pound (1304) of 6750 troy grains, or 9600 tower grains, derives from this pound, as 25 shilling-weights or 15 tower ounces, for general commercial use. Multiple pounds based on the same ounce were quite common.
While the far north has subtropical weather during summer, and inland alpine areas of the South Island can be as cold as -10Â°C (14Â°F) in winter, most of the country lies close to the coast, which means mild temperatures. The average New Zealand temperature decreases as you travel south.
If you really enjoy hot weather, then head up to the Bay of Islands, which can experience February temperatures of over 30Â°C. From there you can meander southward, enjoying festivals and events such as: Waitangi Day (6th February) â New Zealand's national day. Join in the celebration in Waitangi (Bay of Islands)
