To-day the weather continues of the same delightful order. The maximum shade temperatrue yesterday was 70.3deg., but, on the other hand, last night was fairly cold, the minimum grass temperature being 32.3deg. Although the barometer has shown a falling tendency the difference from yesterday is very slight. Winds have been variable, moderate easterlies ruling in and north of Cook Strait, and notherlies southward. Fine weather has been experienced generally, although skies have been dull in the northern and southernmost districts, and fogs have occurred in the vicinity of Foveaux Strait. The forecast is for fair, warm, and hazy weather generally, but with cloudiness increasing and rain following shortly in the West Coast and southernmost districts of the South Island. Moderate to strong easterly winds are indicated north of New Plymouth and Napier, and northerlies, which are likely to freshen, may be expected elsewhere.
