winds with a clearance from the south in western districts, while
rain spread to the east coast from Christchurch northward.

The front became stationary over Northland on the 6th and 7th,
and a small depression formed there. Considerable rain was reported
from Northland, with some rain over the remainder of the North
Island and also in northern and western districts of the South
Island. On the 8th the depression lay to the east. The rainfall
distribution remained rather similar, but considerable falls were
reported in some North Island districts and in Nelson. During the
next 2 days the depression to the east moved southward, while
troughs of low pressure crossed the country. Rain affected mainly
western districts of both Islands and also Southland and Otago.
A southerly change on the 11th brought rain to most of the South
Island and parts of the North Island. Snow was reported to low
levels in Otago and Canterbury, and also on some of the North
Island ranges. The weather cleared in some districts on the 12th,
but there was rain in Northland with a slow moving trough, while
another trough of low pressure affected Southland, Fiordland, and
South Westland.

During the 13th and 14th a very deep depression was passing
far to the south while the associated trough crossed the country.
Rain was fairly general except for most eastern districts. Somewhat
similar conditions continued at first on the 15th, with gales in
Canterbury. A change to southerlies then occurred, with rain
becoming fairly general and snow to low levels in Otago and
Canterbury. On the 16th a depression formed near the Chatham
Islands. The weather cleared over most of the South Island, but
light rain persisted in the north. On the following day a weak ridge
of high pressure extended over the country, but some rain was still
reported on the West Coast and in central districts of the North
Island.

On the 18th a trough of low pressure crossed the country, with
an associated small depression. Rain extended over most of the
South Island and southern and central districts of the North Island.
On the following day a weak ridge of high pressure brought mainly
fine weather. On the 20th a small depression crossed the southern
North Island, and the associated trough brought rain mainly to

northern districts of that Island, but some rain was also reported
in northern and western districts of the South Island. On the follow-
ing day the weather cleared in the north as the depression moved
away, but southern districts of the North Island received some
rain, while Southland and Fiordland were affected by a trough of
low pressure in that area. Pressures were again very low far to the
south, and as the trough crossed the South Island on the 22nd
northwesterly gales were reported about Cook Strait. Rain affected
the whole of the South Island and western districts of the North
Island, with some particularly heavy falls in the Alps. On the
following day, with the passage of the same trough over the North
Island, rain spread to northern districts there, while the weather
cleared in Marlborough and Canterbury. On the 24th an anti-
cyclone was centred to the north-west of the North Island. Some
rain still persisted on the West Coast and in central districts of the
North Island.

During the 25th and 26th a very deep depression passed close to
Southland, while the associated trough of low pressure crossed the
country. Many very strong north-westerly gales were reported in the
South Island and around Cook Strait. Rain extended to all districts
except on the east coast from Balclutha to Gisborne. Some con-
siderable falls were recorded in the Alps. From the 27th to the 29th
the depression moved southward and eastward past Campbell
Island, while another trough of low pressure crossed the country
with strong westerly to north-westerly winds behind it. Further
heavy rain was recorded in the Alps and on the West Coast, and
some rain was also reported from most western and central districts
of the North Island. In remaining districts of the South Island
rain continued at first, but the weather gradually cleared in the
south. The 30th was a day of south-westerlies, with rain affecting
mainly western and central districts of the North Island. At the
end of the month an anticyclone was centred over the Tasman
Sea and a ridge of high pressure from it brought mainly fine weather.
However, some light rain was still reported, mainly in parts of
Southland and Westland.
