Weather
Canterbury is one of NZ’s driest regions. Moisture-laden westerlies from the Tasman Sea hit the Southern Alps and dump their rainfall on the West Coast before reaching the eastern South Island. The result? Canterbury has an annual rainfall of only 0.75m, compared with a soaking 5m on the West Coast.
