The climate in Abel Tasman is considered to be a moderate, maritime one with warm summers and cool winters. While spring may bring a few early showers, the weather is generally considered pleasant with average temperatures between 61-66°F. Daylight savings also starts in spring so you can enjoy a bit more of the glorious sun and heralds the beginning of the peak, tourist season.

Summer sees the warmest weather in the region with an average temperature between 68-77°F. This means it's not too hot to enjoy activities such as hiking one of the many trails available but it is the peak season with January being the busiest month in Abel Tasman. 

In fall, the temperatures lower a little bit it's still warm enough to swim with the average being between 63-70°F. You might see some rain during fall but it's still daylight savings until mid-April making it perfect weather for long hikes and leisurely days spent at the beach.

The average temperature in winter is between 54-61°F which is on the cooler side but it's definitely not cold compared to some of the other regions in New Zealand. More often than not, winter days will be crisp in the morning before getting a bit warmer in the afternoon. 

The weather year-round in Abel Tasman is pretty much perfect. While it is cooler in winter, it's still warm enough to enjoy outdoor activities such as swimming, snorkeling, and other water sports, as well as hiking and bike riding.

If you do travel to Abel Tasman in winter, you will avoid any larger crowds on some of the more popular beaches and hiking trails, as well as fewer insects buzzing around.

Summer brings warmer weather (even at night time) and spring sees the many native plants and forested areas come alive with color and lush greenery, albeit with a few rain showers here and there. 

Fall is also a great time to visit Abel Tasman but you can expect some rainfall and cooler temperatures.
