What weather can I expect in Queenstown?

Although Queenstown is in the Southern Alps, it is in a deep valley surrounded by mountains and on the shores of Lake Wakatipu. That makes it quite sheltered. In summer, Queenstown enjoys long warm days with temperatures that can reach 30°C (85°F) while winters are cold. Temperatures approach freezing overnight in winter, and often stay under 10°C (50°F) during the day. There can be snow, but it usually melts off during the day. Queenstown is quite dry, with only about 60 mm of rain per month on average. There is no rainy season, but May to July tend to be more overcast. It's helpful to check weather advisories as your travel date approaches.
