The climate of Napier (New Zealand)
Napier is located on the east coast of the North Island. In the early
1930s Napier was almost completely destroyed by an earthquake with a
magnitude of 7.9 on the Richter scale. The earthquake caused for
almost 40 square kilometers of sea bed to become dry land. After the
earthquake Napier was rebuilt in Art-deco style. A beautiful promenade
stretches out for 4 kilometers and shows all of the city’s highlights.
Napier has a Mediterranean climate with mild winters and warm and dry
summers. During the summer from November to February humidity can
become unpleasant. Because of the many hours of sunshine during the
summer Napier is one of the biggest wine producers in New Zealand.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
