Weather Sequence—During the first 2 days of September a deep depression was moving away to the south-east and pressures were also low far to the south, while an anticyclone was centred to the north. Westerly to south-westerly conditions prevailed, with rain on the West Coast and Southland, besides parts of Canterbury and the whole of the North Island. Snow was reported on the South Island ranges. For the next 2 days pressures were still very low to the south and another trough of low pressure reached Cook Strait. Rain was reported in the North Island mainly west of the main ranges but it affected the whole of the South Island, with some considerable falls in south Westland.

A depression developed on the trough over the North Tasman Sea and moved south-eastward across Northland and Bay of Plenty to a position off the East Coast. From the 5th to the 7th rain affected mainly the North Island, with some heavy falls in Auckland, Waikato, Waitomo, Bay of Plenty, Taupo, Gisborne, and Hawke’s Bay. Flooding was reported in the lower parts of the Waikato. During the next 2 days the depression moved away and a ridge of high pressure extended over the country from the north, bringing mainly fine weather.

On the 10th and 11th a very deep depression passed far to the south-west and two troughs of low pressure crossed the country. In the very strong north-westerly flow violent gales were reported in Otago, Canterbury, and Wellington, causing considerable damage. More heavy rain fell on the West Coast with lighter falls elsewhere. During the next 2 days a depression developed on the second trough and crossed northern districts of the North Island. Some rain fell over most of the North Island, with considerable falls in Hawke’s Bay in the easterlies.

On the 14th the depression moved away and a ridge of high pressure brought improved conditions. However, some rain was still reported in eastern and northern districts of the North Island. On the following day a weak trough of low pressure brought some rain to the West Coast and Southland. From the 16th to the 18th an anticyclone over and later to the east of the North Island brought settled weather to the whole country, except the West Coast.

During the 19th and 20th a complex depression from the North Tasman Sea crossed northern districts of the North Island. Considerable rain was reported in Northland and Bay of Plenty with some rain also over the remainder of the North Island, while showers affected the West Coast and the Otago and Canterbury coasts. For the next 2 days a deep depression over the South Tasman Sea crossed Southland and Otago, while the associated trough of low pressure brought fairly general rain. In the westerlies there were some considerable falls on the West Coast, and parts of Otago were also affected in this way. Owing to the development of a small depression off the Buller coast, light rain persisted on the 23rd over the North Island and on the east coast of the South Island.

During the 24th and 25th a depression passed eastward close to Southland with an associated trough of low pressure. In the westerlies rain was fairly general, except for most of Otago and Canterbury. On the 2 following days a second depression followed a very similar track, with rain again general, except in Otago and Canterbury, besides parts of Hawke’s Bay. Some considerable falls were reported on the West Coast and in some northern districts. On the 28th and 29th this depression moved away to the east of the South Island but a second centre formed off the Westland coast and moved north-eastward. The rain persisted on both days over the North Island but cleared over most of the South Island on the 29th. On the last day of the month a ridge of high pressure extended southward from an anticyclone to the north, bringing mainly fine weather.
