until the 27th. Rain fell at times in nearly all districts, and between the 21st and 26th Canterbury received some heavy
downpours with cold easterly to southerly winds. By the 28th the last of the series of cyclones had passed eastwards, and
a westerly type of pressure prevailed from then until the close of the month. Rather widespread rain fell on the 29th, but
on the 28th and the last two days the weather was generally fair.

Associated with a rather intense cyclone which moved across New Zealand on the 24th and 25th, there were thunder-
storms in various parts of the northern and central areas of the North Island. A particularly sudden and heavy downpour
of rain occurred in the Woodville district between 1 and 2 p.m. on the 25th. Also, between Warkworth and Mahurangi
Heads on the morning of the same day, a tornado was experienced which unroofed buildings and uprooted trees in the
district.
