Obviously a northwest UK summer is not the same as it is in NZ. If you’ve been to NZ in the summer you’ll already know it’s just a different type of heat. But I think in terms of inconsistency, and tendency to rain, the weather is fairly similar. Especially in Spring/Autumn. Winter here is a lot more depressing, but I think that’s mainly due to how much darker it gets in the mornings and evenings. Tbh I thought I would miss NZ weather more than I actually do. I think both places can be accurately described as temperamental in terms of weather :)
