The Nelson-Motueka area is one of the sunniest places in New Zealand where the average duration of bright sunshine exceeds 2350 hours a year.

A pleasant feature of the New Zealand climate is the high proportion of sunshine during the winter months, although there is a marked increase in cloudiness in the North Island in winter -- but little seasonal change in the South Island, except in Southland.
