and there were indications that in nearly all of this area except
the West Coast and parts of Northland the month was the warmest
June recorded since temperature observations first began in the
1860s. The average departure over the North Island was 2.5°C
(4.6°F) and over the South Island 1.8°C (3.2°F). Over the whole
country it was 2.1°C (3.8°F). This was the 13th successive month
with temperatures above normal in the North Island and the
northern half of the South Island, and the 9th successive month
in the southern half of the South Island.

Sunshine—Sunshine was mainly below normal by up to 40 hours.
An area from Bay of Plenty through Waikato and Waitomo to North
Taranaki was worst affected. In Otago and Southland and about
Cook Strait sunshine was close to normal, except around Inver-
cargill, where it was 30 hours above normal.

Weather Sequence—On the first 2 days of June a depression was
centred west of the North Island and another one south-east of the
South Island, and these two were connected by a trough of low
pressure, while an anticyclone was centred to the south-east.
Rain was fairly general but clearing soon in Southland and Otago.
By the 3rd the anticyclone was centred south of the Chatham
Islands with the main depression stationary over the eastern
Tasman Sea. The anticyclone moved north-eastward, while the
depression developed a second centre and moved southward. From
this date until the 7th the weather was very unsettled in the north-
easterlies. Some considerable rainfalls were recorded, with flooding
in Bay of Plenty and later, Otago. On the 8th and 9th the complex
depression covered New Zealand but was losing intensity, and the
weather gradually improved, with only scattered falls on the latter
day.

On the 10th and 11th a complex depression covering the south
Tasman Sea and the area to the south of the South Island moved
south-eastward, while the associated trough of low pressure
crossed the country with westerly winds behind it, causing rain in
western and northern districts of both islands. During the next 2
days a small depression crossed northern districts of the South
Island, with another associated trough. Rain was reported mainly
in western areas from Auckland to Hokitika and also in eastern
districts of the South Island besides Wairarapa. A depression
formed on this trough near North Cape on the 14th and travelled
south-eastwards while yet another trough moved on to the South
Island. Rain now affected mainly northern districts of the North
Island and Gisborne besides the West Coast and Southland. On the
following day yet another trough of low pressure caused rain to
persist on the West Coast and in Southland, while some was
also reported in Taranaki.

On the 16th a large anticyclone centred over New South Wales
extended on to the Tasman Sea and New Zealand; however,
there were still a few scattered showers. As the anticyclone moved
eastward during the next 2 days the weather was mainly fine.
However, on the 19th and 20th the weather in Northland and
Gisborne was marred by rain in easterlies as a depression passed to
the north of the country.

On the 21st and 22nd a small depression crossed the South Island
with an associated trough, causing rain in Northland and also in
western districts as far south as Hokitika. During the next 2 days
a somewhat similar depression crossed the North Island, with rain
there except in southern districts; and some rain also in Fiordland,
Southland, and Otago. The period from the 25th to the 27th was
one of westerlies, with pressures high to the north and low to the
south. Rain was fairly general except in eastern districts.

During the last 3 days of the month a small depression formed
over the northern half of the South Island and moved slowly
eastward while an anticyclone was centred to the east of Campbell
Island. In the easterlies, Canterbury and Otago reported misty
conditions with considerable rain. Rain was also reported in
western districts of the North Island and about Cook Strait.
