✨ Climatological Data

May 19.] THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE. 1303

Rains were caused in parts of the same districts between the 18th and 20th under rather similar conditions, pressure being high to the south and relatively low to the north.

Following this a cyclone gradually developed in the North Tasman Sea, while pressure remained very high to the east of New Zealand. The cyclone crossed the southern portion of the South Island on the 23rd, and northerly gales were experienced in some places. This storm was the only one during the month which produced anything approaching general rains, but on this occasion there were few localities which recorded no rain, and heavy falls occurred in most. The heaviest were in the northern and north-eastern portions of the North Island and the western and southern portions of the South Island. Some flooding again occurred.

EDWARD KIDSON, Director.

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 ...
