STILL UNPLEASANT
Unpleasant weather is making.a further addition to Wellington's long run of unfavourable week-ends. Questioned to-day regarding the weather conditions, Mr. D. C. Bates (Director of the Meteorological Ofiice) said: "The southerly storm has not come with the force that it might have done, and we have still to take seriously into consideration the possibility of southerly gales." Cold and unsettled conditions had prevailed with rain generally and snow in the high country. Strong and squally southerly gales had ruled in parts, and atmospheric pressure had shown an increasing tendency. The barometer was due to rise everywhere, probably high during the next few days, when, in the ordinary course of events an improvement in the weather should take place. In the meantime cold and showery conditions were likely to be experienced, with heavy showers and sleet in the South and snow on the high levels. Southerly winds, strong to gale at times, were probable, and some cold nights were to be expected.
