ANOTHER DEPRESSION

WEATHER FAIR AT • FIRST

Tho approach of a fresh depression from across the Tasman Sea will cause tho recent reversion to somewhat calmer and bettor weather to be of short duration only. Today's forecast promises north-westerly to westerly winds, which will be moderate to strong generally and which will reach gale force at times in places south of Now Plymouth and Napier. Tho. weather, although, fair at first, will shortly become unsettled again ■in western districts southward fronvKawhia. Rain will develop, and some heavy falls are likely on the west coast of the South Island. Eastern districts, however, should continue to havo mainly fair weather with warni temperatures. The storm,which caused the boisterous weather over the weekend has finally passed away eastward, and pressure is now fairly high to the north and east of New Zealand. The approach of a fresh depression has, however, caused barometers to start falling again in southern districts. "Winds yesterday were mainly moderate to strong westorlies, but by thia morning they had veered to the north-west or north, and south of New Plymouth and Napier were increasing in force. Some scattered and light showers fell yesterday in western districts, in the southern part of Otago, and in Southland. But the weather had generally improved, and no Btation at 9 a.m. today reported rain as falling at that time. Somo showers fell in Auckland yesterday, the weather being rather cloudy both last night and this morning. Moderate winds between north-west and south-west prevailed there. "Wellington's weather yesterday was fine, although rather cloudy. A moderate northerly breeze died away during the night, but it rose .again this morning and soon became, strong. At 8.20 a.m. today there was'a gust which registered a velocity of 53 miles an hour. . ■- ■ ~" The weather in Christchurch was rather _ cloudy both yesterday morning and this morning, but most of yesterday was fine and sunny, with only light breezes. A heavy shower fell in Dunedin yesterday morning, but the afternoon was fino and sunny. The wind there has changed from tho south-west to the north-east.
