Auckland follows a whimsical weather pattern that locals sum up wittily: "If you don't like the weather in Auckland, wait five minutes." While this makes for an ever-changing backdrop, it also means that a sunny day can quickly turn into a rainy one. However, a sprinkle of rain doesn't dampen the spirits of this dynamic city. Auckland is well-prepared to entertain and engage, come rain or shine. Learn how to make a rainy day in Auckland just as enjoyable—if not more so—than a sunny one.
