Wellington - capital city of New Zealand and the second most populated city in New Zealand. Because New Zealand is located in the Southern Hemisphere it is experiencing with late summer/early autumn but temperatures in Wellington are already experiencing temperatures below 70ºF which is such a huge contrast compared to Hawaii! Here are five weather forecasts from the dates Thursday March 20 to Monday March 24.

To be honest I think New Zealand has the perfect weather. It's relatively cooler all year long but it doesn't get too cold in the winter that a girl from Hawaii would be freezing.

From the satellite image above there are a lot of cold (blue) clouds on top of the low (grey) warm clouds. If you move around the map, Most of North Island and the northern part of South Island is covered with low warm grey clouds and cold blue clouds. This isn't a surprise since New Zealand's average rain fall is high which would probably explain the lush green mountains and forests. Near and in Wellington there are a lot of forest lands. But in The South Islands, there are more light brown desert or crop like places. South Island is known for it's country suburbs while North Island is much more populated with cities and buildings.  Wellington is fairly close to a harbor called Wellington Harbor which leads to the Cook Strait. It is also near by two lakes named Lake Wairarapa and and Lake Onoke.

Surface Analysis of New Zealand

The picture above shows a map of the surface analysis of New Zealand. There is a presence of a high pressure (which is indicated with the large blue "H") off onto the west side of North Island but no sign of a low pressure (which would be indicated with a large red "L"). Only three isobars are observed and are near New Zealand which is 1024 mb, 1020 mb which runs through the South Island and the southern tip (where the capital city: Wellington is located) of North Island, and of to the east of New Zealand is a 1024 mb isobar pressure.

There is a cold front that runs through the southern tip of the South Island that looks like the picture on the left.

Running through the East side of New Zealand are some brown dotted lines which are troughs. Throughs are showing us that the place has a relatively low atmospheric pressure or it can show outflow boundaries (which can be related to thunderstorms).
