THE WEATHER

STILL NO SIGN OF RAIN ..' “Conditions over the Dominion as regards the distribution of pressure have changed very little during the last six days,” stated an official of the Meteorological Office yesterday. “Over the Chatham Islands, for instance, the barometer reading, as received at 9 a.m., has varied only between 3.31 and 8.34 inches. The pressure has kept persistently high to the east and north of New Zealand. On two separate occasions disturbances have appeared in the south-west Tasman Sea, the barometer on each occasion falling to quite a. low value, and in normal seasons good rainfalls would have been expected. from each of these depressions. Each of them, however, in passing New Zealand, has been reduced to a very slight pressure-wave only, and the rainfall was on each occasion confined to scattered showers, chiefly in the Westland and Otago districts. “On Tuesday morning yet another disturbance : bad appeared to the east of New ' South Wales, the pressure at Sydney at 9 a.m. being 29.61 inches. Once more, therefore, conditions to the westward had appeared favourable for good rains in the Dominion, but at present there is still no indication of any marked amelioration of the conditions to the east and north.”
