Editing Queenstown, New Zealand (section)

===Climate===
Because of its relatively moderate altitude (310 metres) and high mountain surroundings, Queenstown has an [[oceanic climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification]] ''Cfb'').<ref>{{cite web |url=http://apps1.eere.energy.gov/buildings/energyplus/weatherdata/5_southwest_pacific_wmo_region_5/NZL_Queenstown.Lakes-Queenstown.QL.938310_NIWA.stat |title=Statistics for NZL Queenstown |publisher=Department of Energy |year=2010 |access-date=6 June 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111031180625/http://apps1.eere.energy.gov/buildings/energyplus/weatherdata/5_southwest_pacific_wmo_region_5/NZL_Queenstown.Lakes-Queenstown.QL.938310_NIWA.stat |archive-date=31 October 2011 |url-status=live }}</ref> Summer has long warm days with temperatures that can reach 30&nbsp;°C while winters are cold with temperatures often in single digits with frequent [[snowfall]], although there is no permanent snow cover during the year. As with the rest of [[Central Otago]], Queenstown lies within the [[rain shadow]] of the [[Southern Alps]], but being closer to the west coast the town is more susceptible to rain-bearing fronts than nearby [[Cromwell, New Zealand|Cromwell]], [[Wānaka]] and [[Alexandra, New Zealand|Alexandra]]. The hottest recorded temperature in Queenstown is {{convert|35.2|°C|0}} and the coldest is {{convert|−8.4|°C|0}}, while for [[Queenstown Airport]] the hottest is {{convert|33.4|°C|0}} and the coldest is {{convert|−12.2|°C|0}}.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://cliflo.niwa.co.nz/|title=CliFlo -The National Climate Database (Agent numbers: 5450, 5451)|publisher=NIWA |access-date=17 July 2024 }}</ref>
