[No. 34

From the 12th to the 17th pressure was high to the east of New Zealand, at Chatham Islands, a state of affairs which had characterized the dry weather of the early part of the summer. After the 17th, however, there was a definite change and weather of a westerly type has since predominated.

Further general rains occurred during the passing of another series of depressions between the 24th and 27th. Very heavy falls were experienced from Taranaki and Wellington southwards. Taranaki had its third series of floods within five weeks. There was some flooding, also, in Southern Otago and Southland.

Many thunderstorms were recorded during the month, especially in the Auckland Province, and some were very severe and prolonged.

Between the 19th and 23rd a tropical cyclone developed in the Pacific Islands region and passed through the Tonga Group in a south-easterly direction. Fortunately no serious damage was done.

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 ...
