EXCEPTIONAL WEATHER.
WELLINGTON'S JANUARY RECORD.
(press association telegram.)
WELLINGTON, January 31,
Wellington's weather during January was exceptional in several respects. There was an almost entire absence of rain, the total fall for the month being less than one-fifth of an inch, marking it as the driest January for 41 years. Wellington belied its popular reputation as a windy city last month, a remarkable feature of the meteorological records being the even atmospheric pressure, due to more or less constant anti-cyclonic conditions, and the many days of calms or light airs. Strong northerly or westerly winds were conspicuous only by their absence.
The bright sunshine recorded during the month was far above the average.
