WOAH!

I was a bit surprised there for a second, Phoenix!

Sunscreen with a temperature of 30 degrees farenheight(SP)... you must be easily burned!

I heard New Zealand does get pretty warm in the summer, though. I know in the mid-east it's dead hot in the summer, and dead cold in the winter.

Ha... not that much room for mid-easts and such... not even the size of a state in the US... :grin:

But as it goes, the weather changes an awful lot. For example, last summer (at the end of last year) was really wet. It takes a while for temperatures to get up.

As for the mid-east... well the middle of the country in more or less the Cook Strait... going east from there would pretty much lead you into the Pacific Ocean... and I've know idea how hot that is! :grin:

It's really interesting actually, the South Island's West Coast is by far the wettest place, it's 'soaking' down there... Yet only half an island down it's boiling hot and sunny, with regular 31 degree temperatures...
And even further down in Southland by the fjords it's freezing and gets down to negatives...

In the North Island, particularly in Auckland, the biggest city, the weather is extremely unpredictable. Best to bring a bit of everything going there...

Wow. You know, in some places, you just get so used to the heat. I mean, New Zealand has varied weather, but I was raised in Belize for a while (my dad was doing a research project there), where it's constantly hot. I mean, one time, it was a "chilly" 70 degrees, and I saw a dog shivering, then again I couldn't laugh because I was wearing a sweater! So you kind of get used to weather, and you sort of... adopt to it.

Don't think I've ever experienced 35 degrees... :-?

But we get burnt very easily here Crookshanks, whereas in other places they might have 35 degree heat everyday and never get burnt. Ozone layer.

Well...

70 degrees F iss approx. 21 degrees C (if i did it right.)

30 degrees C is approx. 86 degrees F

35 degrees C is approx. 95 degrees F :eek:

30 degrees F is about -1 degree C

48 degrees F is about 9 degrees C

The 70-80 degree range for F is about 21-26 in C

and I think Asphodel mentioned 120 degree weather which would be 49 degrees C



Just to clear things up....

49 degrees! :eek: I can't even imagine 49 degree heat...

The climate here is usually between 18-30 degrees C in the summer. It gets hotter than that reasonably rarely.

Winter veries on wyhere you are in the countries. It can go down into negatives down south... where I am, generally highs of 12-19 degrees in the winter.
Down south, more like 4-10.

It's interesting.

And Asphodel mentioned a "chilly" 70 degrees F! That's normal here...
