Auckland is in the Southern Hemisphere and follows the same seasons as Australia, with summer falling over December to February and winter falling over June to August. It barely gets too hot or too cold in Auckland, with winter temperatures reaching the low teens in degrees Celsius and summer reaching the low 20s in degrees Celsius. Unlike other New Zealand destinations, Auckland does not get cold enough for snow and skiing, so the most popular time to visit is over summer. While temperatures are at their best over summer, this is also peak time, so there may be crowds. Visiting over spring or autumn will ensure temperatures are still mild with fewer crowds.
