STRANGE ORANGEYELLOW LIGHT
Auckland Atmosphere
SMOKE FROM AUSTRALIA THOUGHT CAUSE By Telegraph—Press Association AUCKLAND, January 12. Dull cloudy weather with an unusual orange-yellow light experienced at Auckland during the day is presumed to have been caused by smoke from Australian bush fires which has drifted across the Tasman Sea. The westerly disturbances ruling at present have evidently carried the smoke across the ocean, forming a thick haze in the sxy; This phenomenon was experienced some years ago when the Commonwealth Meteorologist said that smoke could travel further than to New Zealand from Victoria. A smoke haze was also reported from Whangarei.
