October Weather. If you plan on visiting New Zealand during October, then you are onto a good thing weather-wise. From October onwards, the capital city Wellington enjoys its best weather â with average temperatures of between 17 and 21Â°C. However, Wellington is well-known for being the windiest city in New Zealand â the strongest wind recorded was in the month of October (a gust of 215km/h). Do not declare 'summer' too soon!
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. January and February are the warmest months, and July is the coldest month of the year. You can check on New Zealand weather conditions on the Met Service website. Spring September - November.
