✦ Synopsis

New Zealand's complex orography gives distinct regional responses to variations in atmospheric circulation. By using rotated principal components, three spatially coherent temperature, and eight rainfall regions are defined for describing climate variations and trends for the period 1930 -1994.

Two main circulation changes have occurred in the New Zealand area over the record examined,
