TO-DAY'S WEATHER FORECAST

Tho anti-cyclone which has been in existence over tho Dominion and the Tasman Sea for tho past live days has, since yesterday, decreased in extent and intensity. Although pressure is still high in northern parts, thero has been a fall over tho greater portion of the Dominion, and a rather pronounced ono on tho east coast of the South Island owing to ft- low pressure wavo which crossed in the south during yesterday having sinco increased somowhat in intensity on tho eastern aide of New Zealand. This has resulted in a change from variable winds to winds from between north-wost and southwest, and au increaso in wind force, moro especially from Cook Strait southwards. At Bluff, a westerly galo was blowing at 0 a.m. to-day. Generally, however, the weather has remained fair, though at times thero has beon considerable cloud, and at a, f ew isolated places light showers. The forecast is for mainly west to south winds, at first frosh to strong in and south of Cook Strait, later backing to north-west and north; and freshening in northern districts.. The weather is likely to be unsettled, with scattered showers in the western districts from Taranaki southwards, but mainly fair to cloudy. Later, conditions should become sultry with rising temperatures and more generally unsettled weather is probable by tho week-end.
