However, she thought the weather was difficult to predict, "so moving the holidays for weather alone wouldn't be as sensible but many workplaces are already considering staggered annual leave for their employees".
Local Trish Craig was in support of moving summer holidays to make the most of the weather.
"Going on this summer, absolutely. It's been more like spring. In February the weather is a lot more settled."
MetService meteorologist Stephen Glassey said December was traditionally one of the windiest months throughout New Zealand, and generally had lower temperatures than February.
The long-term average maximum temperature for Tauranga in December was 22.2C, compared to February which was 24C and March was 22.5C.
The average rainfall in December was also higher at 95mm, with February's long-term average at 86mm.
Greenpark School principal Graeme Lind said he would "probably prefer the status quo" regardless of the weather.
"My worry is with Christmas and New Year's and stat days, people ... like to take a decent break. It could impact schools with parents taking their children out of school."
He said during February many international school groups would come to New Zealand while they were on their own holidays.
"If schools were closed it would diminish that off-shore market. If schools were closed it would severely impact that part of schooling."
Tauranga Boy's College principal Robert Mangan said moving the summer holiday period would have "huge implications".
"I think it's a bit complex as it would require agreement across a whole lot of different institutions, not only educational institutions."
"Also, we're locked in to both Christmas and New Year, which is a pretty established holiday period. I personally don't think it's feasible."
Secondary Principals' Association president Sandy Pasley said starting the school year later would have to coincide with the exam structure.
"Hot classrooms in February can be difficult, but schools need enough time to teach their students the curriculum before exams and it's already really tight at the moment.
She said if exams were pushed back until December they would still need to be completed by Christmas, which meant NZQA would have to mark them during the Christmas period.
Summer holidays in history
The summer break began to be popular in New Zealand from the 1920s onwards, due to restrictions on work hours meaning workers began to have defined days off around the Christmas period.
