Calling bullshit on NZ weather being as bad as the UK: the top of the North Island is tropical and quite lush. It does rain in Wellington all the time but generally the rain is warm. In the South the West Coast gets some apocalyptic rain, averaging 9 metres a years, but behind the Southern Alps in Otago its only 425mm a year, and a shit-ton of sunshine days. Also you can go skiiing all winter down South.
When it does rain boy does it rain though. I've never experienced rain like I did in the South on the West Coast and Fjordland

Usual story though you live in one place for 20, 30 years and it gets boring. Plus NZ's weather is just as bad as the UK although Aussie is getting a bit erratic with its weather as well these days.
