Tbe weather forecast relates chiefly to the N( j w Zealand coast Rnd the highland*, and is supplied by the Dt-pinment " for what it may be worth." Presa says : — " Between Ihe above-men-lioned dates the weather will be unpropitious Rod turbulent, with destructive storm?, f quails, lightning, winds, heavy vain, and hail in place?, The will be dangerously rough. .Mostly all vegetation in this colony will suffer, as those parts of ihe coluuy which arc uot «ff-e;td by storms, pqnall?, flood?, &c, will be visited by hot winds, dryuese, &c. Late sown crops of this year will be a total failure from (ho ff&ct of the weather. Most boisterous .winds will blow from the north'west-. 1 his wind will be rather prpdomiuact during the abov<-ineniioned period, and I may add this kind of weather will, more or less, prevail all over Australasia. If due time were employed tne exact place could be loca'ed, and a statement made as to how it would be affected, whether by storms, winds, floods, &c. Shipowners are also advised to be on the look-out and watch (Jaily reports of onr meteorologist, as such precaution may save life and aessels."
