Weather Sequence—For the first 3 days of the month a large anticyclone covered the country, moving slowly northward. The weather was settled except in Taupo, Bay of Plenty, and Northland, where there were frequent showers, with some thunderstorms. A trough of low pressure associated with a depression far to the south-east crossed New Zealand during the 4th and 5th. Only scattered light rain was reported, except in Bay of Plenty and Taupo, which received heavier falls with some further thunderstorms.

From the 6th to the 9th another anticyclone covered the country, also moving slowly northward, and the weather was fine apart from a few showers in Taupo, Northland, and Gisborne on the 6th. The fine weather was interrupted on the 10th by rain in Fiordland and on the Southland coast from a weak trough of low pressure. However, for the next 3 days the weather was once more generally fine, with the anticyclone centred to the east.

On the 14th a trough of low pressure associated with a depression far to the south crossed the South Island with scattered rain there as far north as Westport and Christchurch, and also in Northland and Coromandel. For the next 4 days the trough was almost stationary over the North Island. An anticyclone was centred east of the South Island and pressures were low far to the north. Easterly winds covered the North Island, with considerable rain in Gisborne, Hawke’s Bay, and Taupo, and lighter falls over the rest of the island. From the 19th to the 21st the anticyclone was centred to the east of the North Island while a depression near Norfolk Island was moving southwards. Winds were now north-easterlies over the North Island, with rain mainly in Northland, Coromandel, and Bay of Plenty. Some considerable falls were recorded in northern Northland.

From the 22nd to the 26th the vigorous trough of low pressure which had been developing over the North Tasman Sea moved slowly across the North Island, while another trough of low pressure crossed the South Island from the south-west. This was a period of very unsettled weather with rain fairly general over the country, especially on the 23rd and 24th. Some particularly heavy falls were recorded in western and northern districts of the North Island. In New Plymouth the rainfall was quite exceptional and caused very serious flooding; and flooding was also reported around Kaitaia and Kaeo in Northland, and in the Waitotara Valley north-west of Wanganui.

During the last 2 days of the month a large anticyclone covered the country and the weather was fine apart from some light rain in Buller and Nelson on the 27th.
