[No. 28

The rain during the first days of the month was due to a deep depression of the southern or westerly type which was centred in the South Tasman Sea on the 1st. This was followed by a series of secondaries, of which the last crossed the Dominion on the 5th. There were northerly gales in Cook Strait on the 2nd, and southerly gales round the southern extremity of the South Island between the 5th and the 7th.

From the 23rd to the end of the month another series of depressions of the westerly type affected the South Island, but the rain was confined practically to the West Coast and far southern districts.

As the Gazette has been published for more than 185 years, copyright status depends on the publication date of each issue:

1840–1925 (Public Domain): Issues of the New Zealand Gazette and Provincial Gazettes from this period are in the public domain, as the term of Crown copyright (100 years) has expired. Mechanical reproductions (e.g., scanned PDFs) of these public domain documents do not attract new copyright.
1926–1999 (Crown Copyright): Issues from this period remain subject to Crown copyright. Usage of these issues in this project is "Fair Dealing" for research purposes and consistent with the spirit of the open-access principles championed by NZGOAL, ie, "The default licensing position under ...
