Other depressions causing fairly general rains crossed the Dominion on the 16th, 21st, and 27th respectively. The two former were of the westerly type, but the one on the 27th was a complex one with a centre which crossed northern New Zealand. Heavy rain was associated with it in North Auckland, and strong north-east to south-east winds blew.

Most of the disturbances referred to were responsible in their later stages for snowfall on the ranges, while at the beginning of the month and again on the 16th a considerable amount fell on the low lands. Canterbury received a fairly substantial coating during the night of the 16th, when a boisterous southerly prevailed.

Interspersed with the storm areas mentioned, there were various though brief periods of fine weather associated with passing high-pressure systems. For instance, it was fine generally from the 5th to 6th, 13th to 14th, 17th to 20th, on the 25th, and during the last three days of the month.
