Situated in the south of the globe, New Zealand has distinct periods of the year opposite those in North America. New Zealand is an island in the South Pacific, with mile after mile of oceans in all directions, a marine environment that brings hot summers (Dec-March) and cold summers (Jun-Aug).

The weather is strongly influenced by the predominant wind from the east, which brings the humidity from the Tasman Sea to the south. There can be significant differences between regions, with the northern part being sub-tropical and the southern part moderate. Mountains that run from the north to the south along the two isles throw long shades of precipitation over the land and make the east side significantly dryer than the humid east side.
