Climate in Auckland In February, the temperature ranges between 20 and 30ºC. The weather in Auckland is generally pleasant, however it can be unpredictable. You’ll need to be prepared for whatever the day may bring. In summer, have a light rain jacket with you just in case. The sun is surprisingly intense in New Zealand, so protect exposed skin with an effective sunscreen when you’re outside. Look for an SPF rating of 30 or above. |
