Or because the weather in the UK suits them and they actually want something similar - personally, I despise hot weather so can't imagine anything worse than living in a tropical country. You may not like the UK climate, but plenty of others do. I love the changing seasons and (shock, horror!) even like the rain. :) |

Where we had moved from in the UK the weather was vile and appalling ... Hot in the summer - but not unbearable, high 20's, low 30's. And yes, it does rain, but thankfully not day, after day, after day, after ... well you get the picture.:thumbup: |
Re: Weather in new zeland
It depends where you live! I live in Auckland, and even though it rains a lot (making for the beautiful lush green countryside....and never a worry about a drought...) the summers are hot and winters are mild.....much much different to the UK. I need a coat about one day a year....in fact most of my coats have been collecting dust in the wardrobe.
New Zealand is a big country, it isnt the same size as the UK so dont be fooled! And also, as already said, it isnt the primary reason why people move here. :eek: |

: Coats, Scarves & beanies :rofl: are essential winter items in Welly. This IS NOT JAFAland... ppl do wear coatS about 7 months (April ~ October) a year in Welly and I start wearing a coat from March (Crazy, eh?). , because it can be bl**dy freezing on a grey muggy windy and rainy day (it starts getting distinctly cold around mid March anyway) And it doesn't get warm enough until November. Weather is totally Unpredictable here.... Unlike YOU! in fact most of my summer dresses & Short sleeve shirts & underpants have been collecting dust in the wardrobe since we moved to Wellington (I was a kid at that time :rofl:)........ Unfortunately I had to get some nice summer dresses for the wedding in overseas last year, because it was summer :mad: there, BUt! the thing is I rarely wear such short sleeves here.. (in the office Occasionally...still with a jacket AND stocking anyway...hahaha :rofl:) Now I SWEAR (as long as I live in Welly or the U.K) I wouldn't buy any more short sleeve dresses or anything like that in future unless I am a nutter. It’s a total waste of money. |
Re: Weather in new zeland
I wear my woollen coat for at least 3 seasons. Not so much in summer but I am wearing it this week.
And once I start wearing my woollen coat, that's me for the rest of the season. I am a complete wuss though. I hate the cold. |

Re: Weather in new zeland
I'm not so bad as that! Although, I am in my merino cardi and a long sleeve top.
It is bad though that when the sun comes out it can be so warm - so you find yourself wrapped up and sweltering. |

Re: Weather in new zeland
Down in the South Island the weather is all over the place. We've lit the fire a few times already, but today is fine and no need for a coat. In the summer it can be anything from 18 - 35, sometimes all in one week. However, it hardly ever rains even when it's cold, so we have gorgeous blue skies and sunshine even in the middle of winter when it's 8 degrees by 3pm. In winter we get down to -3 at night often, and sometimes lower. In the day it struggles to 8 or 9. Temperatures start to climb around October.
