Weather in Wellington is cooler in the summer than most northern hemisphere cities, because of the moderating effects of the surrounding Pacific Ocean. The main weather hazard faced by Wellington’s residents is the strength of the sun, particularly during the summer.
Because of the lack of ozone in the Southern Hemisphere and the less pollution, you’ll burn more easily in high summer in Wellington than anywhere in the Mediterranean. The sunshine in New Zealand is really strong and there are not enough obstacles to block the UV rays that cause sunburn.
