✨ Climatological Table

Jan. 30.] THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE. 151

The only vigorous depression affecting the country during the month was one which arose from the remains of a tropical cyclone which developed in the New Hebrides on the 14th. This depression passed down the west coast of the North Island and thence across the South during the period from the 17th to the 19th. It caused general rains, which were of very great benefit. Except eastern portions of the South Island almost all districts had heavy falls, and in North Auckland there was some flooding. Inland from Oamaru, also, there were some isolated very heavy rains. A north-easterly gale did some damage in Auckland Harbour on the 18th.

After another period of anticyclonic weather a moderate depression passed rather rapidly eastward between the 28th and 30th. Widespread rains again occurred, with heavy falls in many places, but the rain was not so general nor so long continued as in the previous depression. Rather cool weather followed till the end of the month.
