THE WEATHER
HOT AND MUGGY IN WELLINGTON
Last night there was every prospect of to-day being stormy, with much rain and wind. However, when daylight broks things were entirely.changed, and to-day, far from being stormy, has been oppressively hot—a typical midsummer day. The cyclone disturbance which threatened yesterday ha 6 apparently passed by Wellington, and the city haa been spared the damage which has followed in the cyclone's wake in ths North. The rivers have been in flood' on the- East Coast of the North Island, and considerable floods are reported farther north. Tho barometer has risen in the North, but has fallen in the southern districts for the advent of a westerly disturbance. The forecast issued to-day is for changeable and showery weather in the North Island and the north-east parts of the South_ Island, with increasing haze and cloudiness elsewhere. Moderate to strong easterlies,- changing to northerly, are likely, and tho barometer will probably .fall .in all parts of tho Dominion except the far north. Rough seas are predicted northward of Kaikoura, with moderate elsewhere. .
