Yep, think it is a perfect place to move to! It's easy for a Brit to emigrate there (unlike Australia!), a much lower population as there isn't mass emigration such as the UK, the climate is similar in the summer months and a hell of a lot better in the winter months, and you can go on holidays to Australia. Can't think of any place better to life the rest of my life, and have a family and children!
Yep, plenty of Poms (the term Brit, isn't really used) here. They mostly seem happy, having come primarily for the lifestyle and lack of people. I have known some to go back due to distance from family or economic reasons. As a bonus, Australia get thrown in with the deal as well, once you've done your time.
I've asked plenty of climate related questions over the years, and the typical ....Brit.., will say that summers aren't really comparable, as the warm season starts earlier, finishes later, and has more/stronger sun. Someone from Barnstable(?) said to me recently, that he wore shorts/T shirts from Sep until May, so comparing summers was irrelevant South of Christchurch, the summers get worse, but they do get more swings, with all places down there getting hotter temperatures in summer, than I see up here. Winter is quite different, as I'm often told.

Doesn't need to get that hot for sunburn. Many a person has been lobsterized on a 22C day.

Yea, my friends lived out there for 4 years. But they came back as the parents decided the rest of the family and close friends was to far away. I've also heard that technology is a little behind, but I like that idea. Id rather my potential future children outside and being active than playing on computer games or watching TV all day! NZ just sounds like a better way of life to me! Just the slight worry of potential home sickness...

Your telling me, I was burning waiting for the bus today and it was only around 20 degrees!

I remember as a kid going on a Sunday golf outing with my dad in March, and going to school the next day with lobster red arms, lol. I think the temps were in the 60'sF.

That's true it's more a matter of sun angle and the uv index. When you get an index up above 9 or 10 then you can really start cooking.... I don't burn too much as I have more of an olive type complexion, though I did roast once when I was in Puerto Rico in January 2010.
Summer does sound pretty nice with a average high about 22°C, lots of sunshine and little rain.
But being a winter lover, i would absolutely hate the winter half, but its still a C- due to lots of sunshine.
What are the average water temperatures in July/August in Southsea?
Can you expect similiar values as in the North Sea, so 18-20°C?

The south coast is warmer than the North sea & the Solent is a little warmer , due to the shelter of the Isle of Wight. Temperatures generally get as high as 20C/21C, this summer it has been up to 22C/23C...

Yet the sea still feels cold! LOL
