CHANGING TO COLD
The peculiar meteorological conditions shown in the weather chart in Saturday's Post have accounted for, the unusually calm weather experienced here at the week-end. Hard northerly gales have prevailed in the Northern district, but another depression in the South has neutralised the southern portion of the northern storm. This is suggested in the chart, and accounts for the remarkably calm, misty, and muggy weather with the drizzling rain — 11 points falling by yesterday morning and 22 by this morning. ' Much heavier rain has fallen further north. The low pressure area would in the ordinary way have passed to-morrow, accompanied by corresponding gales, but the meeting of forces described above has produced different effects. The winds have been light, variable, and easterly in the Southern district, changing to southerly to-day. The indications are for a rise in the barometer, with south-easterly winds prevailing. The weather is likely for a time to be cold and showery, with cold nights generally and frosts in fche South Island.
