During the first ten days disturbed weather persisted over the Tasman Sea, a deep cyclone developing in the northern portion. As the remains of this passed by to the north, very heavy rain fell in North Auckland, severe floods being experienced in the extreme north.

A shallow depression followed closely on the above and on the 11th occurred the nearest approach to general rain. As this depression passed eastward also, the barometer at Chatham Island showed the only considerable fall recorded during the month.

Several other slight disturbances passed, and from Christmas-time onwards conditions became increasingly unsettled, with many local thunderstorms.
