GENERAL REMARKS.—The weather during this period has been fair, bright, and pleasant, and unusually dry, except at Dunedin, at
which station the rain was nearly double the average quantity, occurring chiefly in early part of month. Light variable winds experienced
at all places, and temperature in excess. The atmospheric pressure has been sustained above the average, with one exception, when a shallow
depression, with heavy grades for N.W. winds, passed over the colony between the 3rd and 6th.
