[quote=Anonymous]South Island NZ in August is winter and it will be cold. Not quite the Rockies but it's winter ;) Expect temperatures to fluctuate between 30s to low 50s depending on the day. There will be a mixture of cold and dry in the hinterlands (central Otago for example), cold but not quite as cold and overcast along the east coast with chills and some rain but also sunny days (variables!). A lot of rain on the west coast but it's very lush and green. Mountain areas will have snow but the valley roads are generally free. Winter travel can be quite charming but some of your options are restricted, hiking trails are closed, roads are icier, days are shorter. On the flip side, more likely to see the Milford Sound and Mount Cook in the sun, far fewer people around and there's still options for good (short) walks. [/quote]
