On the 20th a trough which still retained considerable activity lay stationary across Northland and the Bay of Plenty, while a ridge of high pressure brought a temporary clearance to the South Island. With the southward movement of the trough rain became general over the North Island and the northern part of the South Island and continued for several days. A low pressure centre developed and moved across the middle of the North Island giving exceptionally heavy rainfalls there which resulted in considerable disruption to holiday traffic by road and rail on the 24th.

A cool southerly change with rain had advanced over the South Island on the 22nd and 23rd when an anticyclone was centred near Tasmania. The latter moved north-eastwards to pass across Northland on the 27th. The weather improved on the 25th although occasional showers were reported from many parts of the country. Pressures remained relatively high to the north for the rest of the month while a series of depressions passed in the far south bringing rain at times to districts in and west of the main ranges. One of these depressions was centred close to Southland on the morning of the 29th and during the day north-westerly gales were reported about and south of Cook Strait. The associated cold front gave brief rain also in western and northern districts of the North Island as it moved north-eastwards, but fair weather then prevailed generally with the approach of an anticyclone from the Tasman Sea.

M. A. F. BARNETT, Director.
