THE WEATHER
STILL UNSEASONABLE
The near advent, of midsummer day seemed hardly credible last night and this morning, the temperature and atmosherie conditions being much more like midwinter. The cause was a slight wave of low pressure passing the north of the Dominion last night. This caused the barometer to show a lower reading than on the previous day, but coincidently there was a substantial rise of pressure in the south of the South Island. This resulted in an increase of the force of south-westerly winds and continued cold and unsettled weather. TJie east coast of the Wellington district experienced heavy showers and squalls, it being highly probable that snow fell on the mountains. The forecast is for strong south-westerly to southerly winds, reaching the force of a gale between East Cape and Akaroa. In districts with a westerly aspect south of New Plymouth fair weather may be experienced, but elsewhere it will be cool and changeable with showers. Kough to high seas will be experienced between East Cape and the Nuggets, and rather rough ones to the south; north of Farewell Spit they will be moderate.
