ANOTHER DEPRESSION

LESS SETTLED WEATHER

The anti-cyclone responsible, for therecent fine weather is now moving away eastward, and the front of an intense westerly depression has reached ■ the" South Island. Hence the weather forecast issued at noon to-day promises northerly to north-westerly winds, which,' while being moderate to strong generally, will reach gale force at times south of New Plymouth and Napier. In far southern districts a change to southerlies may be expected to set in after about twenty-four hours. Unsettled and showery weather is fore-' casted for districts with'a westerly aspect, although in eastern districts the weather should still be fair to cloudy. Temperatures may 'be expected to! be. warm. .... ' •. •
