THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE,

No. 82

The final storm system of the month was a combination of a cyclone in the north and a westerly depression in the south, both of which crossed the Dominion during the night of the 24th. This disturbance deepened considerably in passing to the east, and, consequently, during the night of the 24th and on the 25th, strong southerly winds to gales prevailed, accompanied by heavy showers and, in places, thunder and hail. Particularly heavy rains occurred in the Auckland Province, and a severe thunderstorm was experienced in parts of the Gisborne district. This was the only really cold snap during the month, and fortunately it was of brief duration. On the 26th anticyclonic conditions with fine weather set in and continued to the close of the month.
