east coast from Timaru to East Cape and about Cook Strait. On
the following day the anticyclone covered the whole country and
the weather was fair but cold. With the development of a depression
over the North Tasman Sea some light rain was reported in northern
districts on the 7th and 8th.

The depression moved southward and deepened. From the
9th to the 11th it moved slowly eastward to a position off the
Buller coast, while a trough of low pressure crossed New Zealand
and another small centre developed to the east. This was the
wettest part of the month, with general rain, except in the south-
west of the South Island. Some considerable falls were reported
in northern and western districts of both Islands. As the depression
lost intensity on the following day the rain became lighter, but still
covered three-quarters of the country.

During the 13th and 14th depressions passed far to the south
with troughs of low pressure crossing New Zealand. Conditions
were westerly with fairly general rain, which was however very
light in the east. From the 15th to the 17th a deep depression over
the Tasman Sea crossed the country just south of Cook Strait.
Rain spread over the country, mainly from the north, and became
general, while temperatures were colder. As the depression moved
away on the following day rain persisted on the West Coast and
the Southland coast with scattered light falls in other western
districts, and in Otago and Southland.

On the 19th, a ridge of high pressure covered the country and
the weather was fair apart from some rain in South Westland and

Fiordland. From the 20th to the 22nd a deep depression near
Tasmania moved south-eastward towards Macquarie Island,
while a trough of low pressure crossed New Zealand. Rain was
reported, except in eastern districts from Canterbury to Gisborne.
For the next two days a small depression which developed near
Auckland moved eastward. At first, light rain was fairly general
but on the 24th, in the south-easterlies, it was restricted mainly to
Cook Strait, eastern districts from Cape Palliser to East Cape,
Auckland, and Northland. From the 25th to the 27th an anti-
cyclone was centered over the Tasman Sea and another developed
east of the South Island, while the depression remained to the
north-east of the North Island. The weather was settled apart
from light rain at times in Northland, Gisborne and Hawke's Bay,
and also South Westland, Southland, and Fiordland. Temperatures
became colder.

During the last four days of the month an anticyclone remained
centered near the Chatham Islands, while another anticyclone was
centered south-east of Tasmania, and a depression near Norfolk
Island moved eastward. At first winds were mainly easterly with
rain in many eastern districts from Canterbury northward, but
later they were cold south-westerlies with only scattered light rain
in some eastern and southern areas.
