The climate throughout the country is mild and temperate, mainly maritime, with temperatures rarely falling below 0 °C or rising above 30 °C in populated areas. Conditions vary sharply across regions from extremely wet on the West Coast of the South Island to semi-arid inland Canterbury and subtropical in Northland. Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch all receive a yearly average in excess of 2000 hours of sunshine per annum. The southern and south-western parts of South Island have a cooler and cloudier climate, with around 1400–1600 sunshine hours per annum; whilst the northern and north-eastern parts of the South Island are the sunniest areas of the country and receive approximately 2400–2500 sunshine hours per annum.

Mobile telephone standards: GSM and CDMA. The mobile phone market is a duopoly between Vodafone and Telecom NZ. It is not possible to use a Vodafone or other network's mobile on the Telecom network due to differences between the two. Vodafone uses a GSM network and Telecom uses CDMA. If you want to use Telecom for your mobile services, you need to buy a Telecom mobile phone. It is common to purchase a SIM card on arrival or use the international facilities from your operator.
