FINE WEATHER
A BRIGHTER FORECAST.
The centre.of a small cyclonic disturbance passed through tSjfcjk Strait during the night, but, although the rainfall was heavy, it did not assume the proportions which might have been expected.' At Foxton, 1.2 inches of rain fell, and there have been fifteen points- at Wanganui, fortyfour at Wellington, five at Westport, nineteen at Greymouth, and thirty, at Arthur's Pass. There has been snow on some of the-higher levels in the South. Strong westerlies and south-westerlies have prevailed, and the pressure has increased. There is still considerable barometric gradient, and the winds are likely to be strong southerlies. prevailing northward, of New Plymouth and Napier, and westerlies, backing. to southerlies, elsewhere. The barometer is.due to rise further everywhere soon, and squally and changeable conditions are expected, with rain especially on all the western coast and showers "in the East Coast districts, particularly in the South Island. Conditions are a little complicated by a small westerly area of low. pressure to the northward of the Dominion, but Mr. D. C. Bates expects that the barometer will rise high during the next few days, and that a spell of fine weather will ensue.
