Cooler woathor has boon experienced generally. Rain has apparently fallen steadily northward of Kawhia and Gisborne, and cold and showery weather has been experienced' in the extreme south, but elsewhere the conditions have improved. High pressure' prevails, and modoratc to strong southorly winds havo been experienced. Present indications are for strong southeasterly winds northward of East Cape and Kawhia, with cloudy and wet weather, Elsewhere expect variable and modorato winds, with fair weather. Tho barometer will probably soon fall slowly in the South for the westerly low due on Thursday. D. O. BATES. Motcoroloffical Office, March 22, 1910. .
