Autumn in New Zealand

The arrival of autumn in March, April and May brings in a vibrant but more relaxed season. Summer visitors to resort areas have returned home and children are back at school.



With temperatures around 60-70F (15 - 21C), warm sunny days and cool nights, autumn (fall) is ideal for enjoying the great outdoors - perfect for fishing, golf, horse riding, mountain biking or simply sitting about tasting the new season's wine.
