The climate of Rotorua (New Zealand)
Rotorua is the most popular holiday destination of the North Island. Rotorua is located in the middle of a volcanic area with simmering mud pools, blowing geysers, hot water wells, steaming rocks and hydrothermal lakes that are said to have a healing effect because of the release of volcanic gasses. The second large attraction in this area is the Maori culture which still has its authentic character. Rotorua has a moderate sea climate with four distinct seasons. The nearby volcanoes make for warm winds so it seems temperatures are a little higher than they actually are. January, February and March are the warmest months; July and August are the coldest. Winds are a little less strong than in the rest of 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:
