<P> Hamilton 's climate is oceanic ( Köppen : Cfb ) , with highly moderated temperatures due to New Zealand 's location surrounded by ocean . Despite this , as the largest inland city in the country winter mornings can be cold by New Zealand standards ( the lowest of the North Island 's main centres ) , dropping as low as − 4 ° C ( 25 ° F ) several times per year . Likewise summers can be some of the hottest in the country with temperatures rising as high as 29 ° C , on an annual basis . Hamilton also features very high humidity ( similar to tropical climates such as Singapore ) which can make temperatures feel uncomfortably warm or cold . Ground frosts are common and snow is possible but rare . The only recorded snowfall in modern times was light snowflakes in mid August 2011 during a prolonged cold period that saw snowfall as far north as Dargaville . </P>
