THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE.

[No. 94

The only general rains occurring during the month were associated with a storm which developed into a deep cyclone over the Tasman Sea on the 17th. Rain was very widespread from the 17th to the 20th, and the totals were almost everywhere considerable. Even this storm, however, was rapidly losing energy when it crossed New Zealand, and the amount of rain produced by it was rather disappointing.

Another slight disturbance passed between the 26th and 28th and caused some scattered showers.

Thunderstorms were rather frequent during the month, and a slight tornado occurred near Christchurch on the 19th. Practically no winds of gale force were experienced. A conspicuous feature of the weather was the way in which disturbances which were vigorous over Australia petered out before reaching New Zealand, and especially the absence of strong westerly winds in such disturbances as reached us. In consequence, even the wettest parts of the west coast sometimes went entirely without rain.

EDWARD KIDSON, Director.
