Expected June weather: The first month of winter seems to come with a bang. June temperatures take a dive and it turns cold, ready for warm fires and anticipation as ski fields get ready to open. On calm days there is potential for an inversion cloud to hang over the township and low on surrounding mountains giving icy, damp and foggy conditions. Some years there are plenty of snow events in June, other years it can be relatively mild and snow doesn’t start properly falling till later in the month, sometimes even July. Snow on the ground in Queenstown is less common in June than later winter months although it’s still a possibility. The shortest day of the year is on the 21st June.
