✨ Meteorological Observations

May 22.] THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE. 1697

Pressure systems in general moved rapidly and regularly from west to east. The storm systems experienced were, with one exception, of slight or moderate intensity only. Between the 6th and the 10th there were showers in most districts. These occurred mainly in the southerly winds following depressions of the westerly type which passed on the 5th and the 8th respectively.

On the 23rd a depression of cyclonic form developed in the Tasman Sea and good general rains seemed imminent. But on the 24th, although the intensity of the storm had increased, its centre moved southwards across the extreme southern extremity of the Dominion. Rain was fairly widespread and there were a few heavy falls in the South Island, but a general rain was missed. The depression was preceded by strong northerly winds and followed by gales from the south-west or west.

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 ...
