Sea crossed the North Island. During this period rain was general
except in the far south. There were some heavy falls in the Auckland
Province on the 16th and 17th. Most districts experienced a temp-
orary clearance on the 20th, under the influence of a weak ridge of
high pressure.
General rain soon developed again with the approach of a deep
and very active trough from the Tasman Sea. Some heavy falls were
reported in Southland and the Southern Lakes district on the 21st,
causing a flood in the Clutha River. On the 23rd and 24th the trough
was almost stationary as a deep centre moved down it across the
North Island causing widespread heavy rain. Rainfalls were
exceptionally high in the centre of the North Island and severe
flooding occurred particularly in the Waikato, Waipa, Wanganui,
Rangitikei, and Tongariro Rivers. The town of Kaitaia in the far
north was also inundated. Temperatures became much colder in
the southerly airstream behind the trough. Meanwhile the weather
had cleared in the south, and on the 25th it improved rapidly
over the North Island. For the last three days of the month the
whole country benefited from an anticyclone over the North
Tasman; but on the 28th rain commenced once again in Fiordland
with the passage of a depression to the south-west of Southland.
