Province, with flooding once again in Northland. The main
centre of a very deep depression now lay to the south-west of
Southland. As it moved eastwards a vigorous trough of low
pressure crossed the country on the 12th and 13th, accom-
panied by rain on the West Coast and in the North Island.
Heavy falls were reported from Waikato and Rotorua. In
the south-westerly to westerly airstream showers persisted on
the Southland coast and in the Auckland Province for another
day.

With the passage of an anticyclone to the north on the
15th and 16th there was a spell of fair weather in most dis-
tricts, but as pressures began to fall in the south rain com-
men ced on the West Coast. During the next week a very
deep depression to the south moved slowly eastward. In the
westerly airstream several troughs of low pressure passed
over the country and later a new centre formed and moved
to the east, causing a change to south-westerly winds in the
south on the 21st. Showery conditions affected most areas
over this period, and in western districts many thunderstorms
were reported. Heavy rain caused flooding of the Waikato
River below Hamilton on the 20th. As the depressions moved
away showers became lighter and less frequent. By the 24th
only the Southland coast and the New Plymouth - Auckland
area were affected.

For the next two days an anticyclone covered the country,
bringing fine weather. However, rain commenced in the
Auckland Province on the 27th with the approach of a
depression across the North Tasman Sea. The deterioration
became general on the next day as another much deeper
depression, which had been forming near Tasmania, moved
close to Southland. For the last two days of the month this
depression moved slowly eastward. Winds from a westerly
quarter again covered the country, bringing frequent showers,
except in eastern districts.
