COOL AND FAIR
MARCH’S WEATHER REVIEWED The Government Meteorological Office reports that during the month of March, atmospheric pressure was above normal during the greater part of the month, and dry weather predominated ; but seme heavy and welcome rains occurred about the 23rd, 27th and 31st. On the 23rd a small but rather intense cyclonic disturbance passed through Cook Strait and this was followed by another on the 26tli. Rainfall was. above the average for the month in the Wellington, Nelson and Marlborough districts; also at Hokitika, Westport: and Otira. It was also above the average at Kawhia, but less than usual for the month of March in all other parts of the Dominion, Westerly gales were experienced about Cook and Foveaux Straits on the 7th, Bth and 9th, and severe winds also occurred about the 23rd and 31st. Generally, however, there was little wind during the month. Conditions were, on the whole, mostly cool and fair. The rains during the latter part of the month eased the situation for farmers in many parts of the country, particularly in the North Island, and will, it is hoped, produce growth for winter feed.
