Peak season:
Palmerston North experiences its best weather during the summer months of December through to February, with pleasantly warm days and little rainfall. This also coincides with the long New Zealand summer holidays when many domestic tourists are travelling, meaning a slight increase in demand for hotel rooms and flight tickets.
The week surrounding Easter sees another small peak in visitor numbers into Palmerston North, although temperatures are much chillier and drizzly rains can be expected.
Off season:
The winter months of June through to August are generally considered the off season in Palmerston North, with cold temperatures and the majority of the annual rain falling in June. The mountains that flank the city create notably windy conditions, particularly during the spring months of September through to November, so while temperatures are beginning to rise, the prevailing weather conditions can be less than favourable.
If you are visiting Palmerston North for its cultural activities and galleries, then the off season weather conditions shouldn’t put too much of a dampener on your holiday, and you will benefit from reduced accommodation and flight deals.

You will get the best deals on flights to Palmerston North if you book as early as possible, particularly if you plan on travelling during the long annual summer holidays. Due to the lack of competition on most routes, flight ticket prices can be expensive throughout the year and booking early is the only way to secure the best deals. Jetstar is planning a new low-cost carrier flight route between Auckland and Palmerston North which will hopefully introduce some cheaper deals for passengers in the near future.

The crew, food, and entertainment were amazing. The leg room/distance from the row in front of you seems smaller than other airlines which is very uncomfortable.
