Peak season:

Palmerston North experiences its best weather during the summer months of December through to February, with pleasantly warm days and little rainfall. This also coincides with the long New Zealand summer holidays when many domestic tourists are travelling, meaning a slight increase in demand for hotel rooms and flight tickets.

The week surrounding Easter sees another small peak in visitor numbers into Palmerston North, although temperatures are much chillier and drizzly rains can be expected.

Off season:

The winter months of June through to August are generally considered the off season in Palmerston North, with cold temperatures and the majority of the annual rain falling in June. The mountains that flank the city create notably windy conditions, particularly during the spring months of September through to November, so while temperatures are beginning to rise, the prevailing weather conditions can be less than favourable.

If you are visiting Palmerston North for its cultural activities and galleries, then the off season weather conditions shouldn’t put too much of a dampener on your holiday, and you will benefit from reduced accommodation and flight deals.
