Climate of NZ★




New Zealand is blessed with warm climate without terrible heat or cold. Northern area is the Subtropical Zone, and Southern area is the Temperate Zone. The warmest months are December, January, and February. While the coldest months are Jun, July, and August. New Zealand is opposite to Japanese seasons because it locates in the southern hemisphere. I think it is comfortable to live in New Zealand.


But the climate of New Zealand is changeable. Instead of it's summer, it would may be cold suddenly or subtropical low pressure would may come, so when you go hiking or do outdoor activities, you should prepare for sudden change of weather.


The average of highest temperature in summer is from 20 to 30 ℃, and in winter it is from10 to15℃. You can check out a weather forecast of New Zealand here.

Human Tower


Hi, I’m Yuka. I’ m going to talk about origine and clothing.
This tradition started in southern part of Catalonia state in Spain at the end of the 18th century. More especially in the city Valls. The tradition later spread to other region of Catalonia and has become very popular. In Catalonia, this human tower is called “castell” and this means “castle” in English.
And typical clothing consists of white trousers, a black sash, a bandana and a coloured shirts which is a team symbolistic colour. For instance, this man’s team colour is pink!!
