DULL AND MISTY

Weather conditions locally have taken another turn to-day, and.this afternoon the experience was in accordance with, trie forecast of the-Director of the Meteorological Office—"dull and misty." Mr. Bates'stated to-day that the storm reported during the past two days appai"ently passed in the North, although very low readings of the' barometer were recorded this morning at Cape Maria Van Diemen and Tauranga. The winds havedecreased, and rain is not so general in the "North. Between four and five inchesj however,; were recorded'at stations north of Gisborne,' and heavy rain fell during the night' at Napier. The westerly storm area, which has neutralised the tropical cyclone as far as Wellington is concerned, is now exercising an influence on the 'northern disturbance, which ;is passing away. The forecast is for dull a.nd misty weather, with rain probable, particularly on the East Coast of the North. Island. The Southern districts are now likely to experience a change of coriditions. The night will probably be cold and foegv at times! A frost wae just touched in Wellington last night, half-a-degree being recorded at the Observatory. '.. '"■■'-'. . ■•,.•■' . ..
