experienced a number. Disturbed weather prevailed, also, in the Pacific Island group. There was a considerable amount of westerly wind, especially over the South Island, and consequently frequent heavy rains occurred on the west coast and in the ranges of the South Island. Some of these extended to the high country in Wellington and Taranaki. Such rains occurred on the 7th to 9th, 25th and 26th, and the 28th and 29th.

Between the 1st and 3rd two depressions following closely on one another brought widespread rains, with heavy falls in many places. This was the wettest period of the month.

Again, between the 17th and the 22nd, a depression which, though shallow, was of a shape more favourable for rain than most of the remainder, and which was followed by a fairly strong southerly, was responsible for almost general falls. Unfortunately, however, they were in many cases only light.
