Auckland Weather Overview
The city of Auckland is the largest city in New Zealand, an island country located in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. Auckland is not only New Zealand's largest urban area, but also its most populous city. With around 1.5 million people, Auckland is mid-sized by most standards, but big compared to most cities in Oceania (for example the Australian cities of Sydney, Melbourne and Wellington, also in New Zealand).
Upon arrival, it is easy to see why life in Auckland revolves around the water. The city is nearly surrounded by two large bays. Interestingly, these two bays do not belong to the same body of water. One, is Manukau Harbour part of the Tasman Sea, while the other Waitemata Harbour is part of the Pacific Ocean.
In fact, Auckland is one of the few places in the world where it is possible to walk from one sea to another in a few short hours. Nicknamed the City of Sails, the harbours and wharfs that line the city's edges are filled with yachts, sailing and fishing boats of all sizes and expense.
Auckland is located on New Zealand's North Island, and has a warm temperate maritime climate, experiencing all four seasons, but not the extreme changes of temperature that other destinations can experience. It receives moderately high levels of rain year round and is also fairly humid. As it is in the Southern Hemisphere, the seasons are reversed to those of the Northern Hemisphere. Fortunately for Auckland, its northern location is the sunniest and warmest part of New Zealand.
