[No. 61

Two other cyclones formed on the Australian coast and moved slowly eastwards, passing New Zealand to the northward. The first passed on the 9th and the second on the 21st. Still another moved southwards from the region of the Kermadec Islands between the 16th and the 19th. The principal effect of these storms was to produce southerly or south-easterly winds and cold weather over the Dominion. Skies were cloudy on the east coast and over much of the North Island. Misty rain was of frequent occurrence, but there were comparatively few heavy falls. From the 5th to the 8th southerly gales were experienced at many places. The 6th and 7th were very cold days, and snow fell on the high levels in both Islands, many places receiving a deep coating. There were also numerous hailstorms. Conditions were somewhat similar between the 15th and 17th, although on this occasion there was little snow in the South Island. In the interior and western and southern portions of the South Island fine weather with very light winds and hard frosts predominated. Many fogs, also, were reported. On the 25th a fairly deep cyclone advanced from the New South Wales coast across the Tasman Sea, and there seemed a prospect of general and heavy rains. But at this stage the storm suddenly began to move southwards and fill up, and, though rain was almost general, the heavy falls were confined principally to the western districts of the South Island. The continued spell of cold weather had, however, been broken and mild conditions prevailed until the end of the month, while a series of shallow westerly depressions passed in succession. During this period some dense fogs occurred on the east coast, Christchurch being the worst sufferer. On the 26th and 27th traffic of all kinds was seriously interfered with in that city. On the 30th a dense fog occurred on Manukau Harbour and the Hauraki Gulf, causing some disorganization amongst shipping.
