COLD WEATHER

A change in the direction of the wind has made the atmosphere locally 'Very keen to-day—a winter's day practically without rain. The experience is evidently much the same in come other parts of the Dominion. The Director of the Meteorological Office (Mr. D. C. Bates) states that the westerly storm area, which prevailed over the .wesk-end, is now disappearing, and southerly winds were reported in a few places this morning. The winds, however, are likely to decrease, except in the far North, where easterly gales are forecasted, and warning signals are exhibited—at Cape Maria Van Diemen and Tiritiri. Cold and changeable conditions are to be expected. The weather is likely to be uneettled and cloudy, with rain probable, in the northern and East Coast districts. A very cold night is probable, -with frosts inland and hard frosts in the South. "This raw and cold weather, however, is not likely to last very long," Mr. Bates added. An improved form of wintry weather m;iy be experienced before long.
