✨ Customs Tariff Decisions
reported in Cook Strait and in parts of the South Island. Rain
became heavy on the West Coast and affected also Nelson, Marl-
borough, Wellington, and Southland.
A vigorous cold front associated with the last depression brought
rain to most of the North Island and the Marlborough Sounds on
the 18th and 19th. Southerly winds reached gale force about Cook
Strait, and some heavy falls of rain were reported in Wellington and
Wairarapa. Showers persisted on parts of the east coast of the
North Island on the 20th, but otherwise this and the following day
were fair, under the influence of a small anticyclone. From the
22nd to the 24th a deep depression moved southward from the
central Tasman Sea past Southland; rain affected northern and
western districts of both islands. On the following day a southerly
change brought a clearance in Westland, but there was further rain
in many other areas.
From the 26th to the 28th a deep depression moved eastward
from the North Tasman Sea over the North Island. Rain spread
southward as far as Greymouth and the Kaikouras. On the last two
days of the month a very deep depression passed far to the south,
and the associated trough of low pressure crossed the country, with
general rain. However, only light falls were experienced in eastern
districts of both islands and over the greater part of the Auckland
Province.
