 | | Summer temperatures are in the twenties, winter snows confined to the hills, and even around Tapawera, where, in contrast to the frost-free coastal plains, winter temperatures can reach minus six or eight degrees Celsius at night, you can sit outside in shirtsleeves the following day under a brilliant, cloudless sky. |
 | | Rainfall is light in summer, moderate in autumn and spring, periods of more heavy rain in winter are relatively short-lived, and it is rare indeed for more than a day or two to go by without seeing the sun. |
 | | The region is home, not only to farmers and fruit-growers, horticulturalists and market gardeners, but also to artists and craftsmen, winemakers and brewers, potters, weavers and fashion designers, wood-carvers and glass-blowers, chefs and entrepreneurs. |
