GLOOMY WEATHER
A COOL SNAP EXPECTED.
Dull, threatening weather, with occasional heavy rainfalls and gusty winds, have been the rule in the city throughout the week-end, and much the same state* of affairs has been experienced all oven the Dominion, with the exception of the East Coast of the South Island, which reported clear weather this morning. Rain has been experienced in many parts of the country, and- for the 48 hours preceding 9 o'clock this morning 97 points (i.e., .nearly an inch) of rain fell at Wellington. There has been very little rain in the city to-day, and about 1 o'clock this afternoon the sun even condescended to perform his offices visibly for a. few minutes. There has been a westerly dis- __ turbance ruling for the past three days, barometric pressure being lowest in the south. Strong northerly and westerly ,
winds have predominated. Reports received at the Meteorological Office this morning indicate that the Bealey and other West Coast rivers are in flood.
The forecast issued to-day is for . a change -to the southward. The northerly winds will probably go round by west to south, and wjU blow strong to gale. Cloudy and 'unsettled weather, with further rain is forecasted, with much colder conditions than have been the rule lately.
