✨ Customs Decisions, Weather Notes
From the 20th to the 22nd pressure was high to the east and
south, while a depression over the Tasman Sea deepened and moved
through Cook Strait. Rain soon became general except in the far
south, and there were some heavy falls in Northland and Nelson.
During the next two days the depression moved slowly north-eastward from near Cape Palliser, and frequent showers persisted
in eastern districts from North Canterbury to East Cape.
By the 25th pressure was again high to the east and south, while
another deep depression covered the Tasman Sea. A small depression
also formed to the north, and in the moist north-easterly airstream
heavy rain again developed in Northland. On the following day
there were violent thunderstorms in this area, with some exceptional
downpours, especially near Whangarei. With the eastward advance
of the main depression over the Tasman Sea and on to New Zealand
from the 27th to the 29th rain spread southward over the remainder
of the country, with heavy falls in a number of districts. On the
last two days of the month pressure remained low, and a fresh
centre formed near Gisborne. The weather was fair in Westland and
Canterbury but elsewhere rather unsettled, with some heavy rain
from Napier to East Cape.
