New Zealand in January: Travel Tips, Weather, and More
January is mid-summer in New Zealand, and peak tourism season. Schools are on holiday until the end of the month, so you'll encounter a lot of domestic tourists throughout the country. Temperatures are generally warm, although there's a lot of variation between the far north and the deep south. January also tends to be New Zealand's driest month, so conditions are good for outdoor adventures.
