✨ Climatological Data

MAY 30.] THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE. 1521

The next stormy period was from the 21st to the 24th. A depression developed off the west coast of the North Island and moved eastward only very slowly. North-easterly gales again blew in the north. Except in parts of the Wellington Province and eastern districts of the South Island heavy rain was general. Some exceptionally heavy falls were recorded in the Waikato and Bay of Plenty districts, several places having more than 7 in. in twenty-four hours. High floods occurred in these districts, and Taranaki and North Auckland also suffered to some extent. Severe thunderstorms were reported, especially from Taranaki.

Further widespread rains occurred in connection with depressions passing between the 26th and 28th, but there were not many heavy falls. The mountain-tops again received a coating of snow.

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 ...
