When to visit Bay of Plenty

Bay of Plenty

New Zealand is known for having a wide range of climatic conditions.

From the bitter winters of the deep south to the sub-tropical climate of the Far North. The Eastern Bay of Plenty is ideally located between these extremes, leaving residents surprised if they ever have to wear more than a light jumper in winter. Whakatane regularly records the highest sunshine hours in New Zealand, even though that title is often fiercely contested. The Eastern Bay of Plenty has a subtropical, temperate, maritime climate, with warm, humid summers and mild winters. The region is one of the warmest in New Zealand, particularly along the coastline, and most areas experience at least 2,000 hours of sunshine per annum.  Average daily maximum temperatures in the region range from 9-16 °C in winter to 22-26 °C in summer. Rainfall occurs more frequently in winter than in summer, but tropical storms in summer and autumn can produce heavy rain with high winds. Central parts of the region can receive up to 2000 mm of rainfall annually, while the eastern areas can receive up to 4000 mm.
