[No. 62

The first of the cyclones passed the northern extremity of the North Island on the 3rd. There were heavy rains in the far North as it passed and south-easterly gales followed it.

Between the 14th and the 17th a complex depression crossed the South Island. Practically all districts recorded heavy rain, many of the falls being of exceptional severity. Floods occurred in Taranaki, Westland, and the Mackenzie Country in western South Canterbury. The fall of the 14th, which in many places exceeded 2 in., was quite an unusual one for the district last mentioned. Snow fell in the same area on several days and was widespread on the ranges generally.

A third cyclone, which crossed the tip of the Auckland Peninsula on the 22nd, also caused general rains. Southerly gales blew after the centre had passed, and there was further snow on the ranges.

Stormy weather with north-east or northerly gales prevailed during the last two days of the month, while a cyclone, which had caused heavy floods in New South Wales, was advancing across the Tasman Sea.

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 ...
