The Seasons in New Zealand

I would like to tell you about the comparisons of seasons between Japan and New Zealand. New Zealand is located in the southern hemisphere. it is warm through a year. In addition, it rains a lot.

Japan has seasons. In the same, New Zealand also has them too. However, it has reversed seasons. The weather tends to change in a day, so it is said that there are seasons in a day. Then, I will introduce to you the summer in New Zealand.

＊Summer＊
Summer in Japan is about from June to August. However, summer in New Zealand is from December to February because it is located in the southern hemisphere. The average temperature is about 20~30 degree. It is affected a little air pollution, so the sun is very strong. In addition, the sun stays long.
The summer of NZ is a very good for playing activities in the sea! We can not only swim there but also play surfing and take a boat. Of course, we can go hike because there are many mountains in NZ.
The main event in summer is Christmas! It is very important event in NZ. I think Japanese people and NZ people have different images of Christmas. Of course, Christmas in Japan is winter. However, Santa Clause comes in summer! Many people celebrate it in the beach. They enjoy Christmas to sing a Christmas Carol and have a barbecue.
