THE WEATHER
♦ GUSTY DAY IN TOWN. A typical spring northerly, with its accompaniment of flying grit, swept the city and district yesterday. Lowering clouds mustered as the day wore on, and scurried southward in dull grey battalions. There was even a suspicion of rain in the city, but it did not' amount to much more than a pint of discomfort in store. By nightfall it was blowing a hard northerly. Yesterday's weather, according to the Government Meteorologist (Mr. D. C. Bates), was in the nature of an Antarctic disturbance, which ruled in and southward 1 of Oook Strait. Strong northerly winds, he tays, Have predominated, and cloudy and misty weather has prevailed, with rain, especially on the West Coast and southern districts. _ The official forecast is not very cheerful :—"Present, indications are for westerly gales, cloudy, squally, _ and showery weather,, with colder conditions following.' The barometer has a falling tendency,, but will probably rise soon in the south."
