You said yesterday something along the lines of your winter is colder than ours. Well our low temperature each year is normally in the teens infact it can go lower than that.
I live in SE Pennsylvania, downtown Philadelphia to be exact. You don't want to argue with me about whether or not where I live is colder than where you live. There is no where in NI that has these averages at sea level (I'm at sea level): Jan = 40.3/25.5F. We get 14.8 ice days a year on average, and we average 84.1 air frosts a year. You think you are colder than that?
I misread your question. It would be extremely rare to get a subzero maximum in NZ at sea level. Christchurch had a record breaking 0.4C this winter. The coldest Maximum I've seen was -14C, but that was at about 600m.
I don't know that NZ is so more maritime than Ireland, but we don't have the continental influence that Ireland would sometimes get. All our hot/cold weather has to be produced on site.
The record warmth, or heat, must be very unimpressive in NZ with all that cold water around.
Anyway. This is totally off topic and I have nowhere to look.
Here are the 1981-2010 averages. Interesting to note that a few months have went down while others have went up. Sunshine hours have went up too aswell as rain. Some of the winter months have seen an increase in frosts while others a drop. Dosn't really matter as its not really a thing that is followed each year. Interestingly october has seen an increase.
109F is way more than I would have imagined given the very modest summer averages in New Zealand, but I forgot about the Foehn winds. It appears Foehn driven to me. Other areas of NZ are less impressive.
Aukland record high is a lot lower. I found this article for Auckland's hottest ever temp:

I love climate in NZ! Ive found a lot of my favourite climate places to be from NZ. Probably my favourite country in regards to climate from the top of my head.
How did New Zealand reach -26c though? Where did the cold air for that come out of?
