How cold is it in Queenstown?

Question

I'm heading to Queenstown in late August, can anyone tell me how cold is it going to be? Trying to figure out what to pack!

Answer 1

Just picture Aspen, Park City, or Lake Tahoe in January... climate and dress code is about the same.

Answer 2

still pretty cold around august, make sure u have a puffer jacket/goosedown jacket, beanie, thermals, gloves, scarve, etc.  Drink a load of booze and you'll be right!!!  hope u enjoy your trip, my favourite place

Answer 3

Right now Queenstown New Zealand is about -2 at the coldest and +4 at the warmest. That isn't very warm.

Answer 4

August is still ski season, The  sun is brilliant , but early mornings  it can still be cool.

Wrap up well, good footwear and socks, scarf, wolly jersey and warm jacket, keep your legs warm , you 'll be ok,

I hope you are going there for the skiing, still great in August, some spring snow on the sunny slopes, and some ice, but well groomed.
