COMING TO AN END

THE PRESENT FINE WEATHER

No one could have grumbled during the last tew days at the type of weather experienced by most*of the Dominion, least of all to-day, when is was gloriously fine for the holiday. But like other good things, the present spell ot anti-cyclonic conditions is coming to an end, and less settled weather with ram is predicted to develop in the north and spread gradually over the rest of the country. During the week-end a shallow depression passed over the southern portion of the South Island as was forecasted, and barometric pressure fell shghtly. After the passing of the wave, however, pressure rose again, and was this morning higher than ever over most parts of the Dominion. In the £°^ k Strait region it was as high as 00.6 inches or over. Some light showers have been reported from the loveaux Strait region, but, so far as can be gathered from the meagre weekend reports received, the weather elsewhere was fair to fine. > Many districts had frosts again last night. Beports from ships in the Tasman Sea indicate that a cyclone has developed in the northern parts of those waters rough weather and r,iin being experienced. This cyclone, fortunately for holiday-makers, has so far made little progress eastward, although it is unlikely that its effect on the Dominion will be delayed much longer. Within the next day or two it is likely to make its presence felt, bringing less settled weaS,^ xf aj° mosfc Parts of the A6rth Island at least. This morning's forecast promises moderate to strong north-easterly to northerly winds, which will rise to gale force ia parfs of the north. The weather should remain fair at first in most districts, but north 'of Auckland it will become unsettled.
