SUMMARY AND FORECAST. Sunday morning v;as very cold everyvrhcrc, but a decreasa in barometric pressure has '...ken place since, with increasing humidity everywhere. Rain has fallen to-day northward of East Cape and Kawliia." and on the west coast and southern districts of the South Island. Present indications arc for tho development ol' a storm area to tho north-westward of Sew Zealand, which will probably affect the North Island shortly. Strong northerly and westerly winds arc probable everywhere, increasing cloudiness preceding rain in most parte of the country, and a falling barometer everywhere, but unsteady in the southern districts.
