✨ Meteorological Report Conclusion

THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE.
Having concluded this statement of the Meteorology of New Zealand, as far as we have
been able to collect facts from imperfect observations, and our own knowledge of the coast, we
may remark that the climate is in general peculiarly adapted to colonists of our race. That the
navigator will experience frequent changes, but is well warned by certain prognostics with the
assistance of his barometer. That all gales are of short duration. And that the temperature
throughout the year is so equable, especially in the northern portion, that it is difficult to define
the limits of summer and winter.
