UNSETTLED WEATHER

Of the prevailing weather and the outlook for the immediate future the Director of the Meteorological Office (Mr. D. C. Bates) states that the westerly low pressure, mention of which was made yesterday, has intensified, and northwesterly winds have increased strong to gale, especially in and south pf Cook Strait. . Kain has fallen in many parts of the country, particularly in places with a westerly aspect, some of the records for the twenty-four hours preceding 9 a.m. to-day being:—Wellington, 18 points; Westport, 43 points; Greymouth, 77 points; Foxton, 14 points; and Wanganui, 6 points. Temperatures have ranged from 57 degrees to 67 degrees. The forecast is for northerly winds, strong to gale, backing to westerlies northward of New Plymouth and Napier and by west to south elsewhere. The barometer is duo to fall everywhere, but is likely to rise again shortly in the south. Further unsettled and cloudy weather is expected, with rain probable generally.

The Director of the St. John Ambulance Brigade Overseas (the Hon. Sir R. Hcaton Rhodes) officially represented that organisation at the funeral of the late Mrs. W. H. S. Moorhouse. Lady Rhodes was also present.
