Islands, while another moved northward to become stationary off
the Northland coast. Rain affected mainly eastern and northern
districts of the North Island, Wellington, and Manawatu besides
Marlborough and north Canterbury. Some particularly heavy falls
were reported on the 18th in Hawke's Bay especially around
Napier, with some flooding. The northern centre later moved to the
east of the North Island, and another small depression crossed the
South Island and combined with it, while an anticyclone was
centred over Campbell Island. On the 20th and 21st in the souther-
lies, rain was restricted to eastern districts of both Islands south of
Gisborne and the Cook Strait area. Conditions improved on the
next 2 days as the complex depression moved away to the east and
an anticyclone moved on to New Zealand. However, a heavy down-
pour was reported in Nelson on the 22nd.

With the return to northerly winds on the 24th, the remainder of
March was comparatively warm, but not as warm as the spell from
the 1st to the 13th.

During the 24th and 25th a depression over the North Tasman
Sea moved slowly eastward while the associated trough of low
pressure crossed the North Island. Rain was reported first on the

West Coast, extending over the Alps into the high country of
Southland, Otago, and Canterbury. It soon cleared in these areas
but then affected nearly the whole of the North Island, with Nelson
and Marlborough. Conditions remained somewhat similar on the
following day with the passage of the depression across the North
Island. Considerable rain was reported in Bay of Plenty and Taupo.
The weather improved on the 27th as the depression moved away to
the east, but some rain was still reported in eastern and northern
districts of the North Island. Pressures remained high to the east.
From the 28th to the 30th a depression passed to the south-west of
the South Island and the associated trough of low pressure became
stationary over that island. Considerable rain was reported on the
West Coast, with some scattered falls elsewhere. On the last day of
the month the trough remained slow moving, now over Cook
Strait, and was linked to a depression off the Queensland coast.
The weather cleared on the West Coast but rain was reported in
Nelson and Marlborough, besides most of the North Island. There
were some considerable falls in northern Manawatu.
