Historic mean temperature

This map shows the average annual temperature across New Zealand in fine detail -- down to 25-metre resolution. That makes it especially useful for hilly or mountainous country where temperature changes a lot with altitude over short distances.

The underlying weather data covers 1950 to 1980, so the overall temperature patterns are still broadly right, but absolute values may not reflect recent warming.

The high resolution makes this a good layer for understanding how the climate has changed in your rohe, and also for comparing temperatures across your own whenua, especially if it has a mix of ridgeline and valley floor.
