January in New Zealand is known as High Summer or Mid Summer. The sunlight and day length along with the warmth and growth rates have all reached their peak and begin to simmer and percolate. Weather extremes can produce very dry and/or hot conditions.
Cool and pleasant but mostly dry ‘continental’ summers; and in other years humid, warm, wet and tropical all dependent upon the prevailing wind direction that year.
In bountiful years, many gardens are looking great. Tropical plants burst into bloom and flourish. Flowering gardens often reach their peak; fruits and vegetables are abundant. This is when all the planning, preparations, care and devotion pay off in the peak rewards of glorious summer floral displays and bountiful harvests.
