■'•; ;,■ -SUMMARY AND ! FORECAST.-'■.' V, /.<"■ Heavy, "rain, "has fallen' oh tho West' Coast of tho. South Island, and a heavy' thunderstorm was also experienced) thero lastcignt. Strong westerly gales were dVporicnced in parts south of ~Now. Plymouth ana, Napier, and westerly winds have;.prevailed ; with cloudy; weather in most parts, and' occasional shovrcrs in sonic. - A further .fall in'-pressure is duo in- the south, but the present indications show no definite developments M that direotion, and strong westerly winds with cloudy and unsettled weather will probably change sUdrtly to southerly winds," with showery weather, and a, rising barometer.
