WEATHER SUMMARY.
METEOROLOGICAL REPORT.' (Peb United Press Association.) WELLINGTON, May 6. The following is the weather summary for April by the Government meteorologist: The weather of the month of April was on the whole fine, dry, aiwi sunny, with the rainfall generally below the average, but in parte of Canterbury the total falls were very much higher. For example, the total month's rainfall at Christchurch, 6.25 inches, is over three times the mean for the month. This result is owing chiefly to the passage between 15th and 19th and the subsequent extension of a cyclonic storm off the East Coast. The same remarkable tendency to intensify affcsr passing over the country was evidenced about 10 daya earlier, so"that in a brief period Canterbury experienced an unusual succession of stormy southerly weather. The East Coast' of the North Island mostlv escaped and the total month's fall at Napier ia only 0.18 inches for three days, with, bright sunshine, amounting to 229 hours, and no sunless days.
