Tasinan Sea lias made very slow progress eastward, although the pressure is still low ov?r New Zealand and the greater part of the Tasman Sea. A: change to sousherlies has takea place ia Otago and Southland, but elsewhere northerly whirls have (wntinued. These have been strong and of gals force in many places. At "Wellingto*. the maximum gust was at the rate of 60 miles per hour at 2.30 p.m. yesterday. | The weather has been generally uai settled, with rain, in nearly all parts of the Dominion, and many heavy fallshave been experienced. The greatest total for the twenty-four hours was 413 points, recorded at Arthur's Pass. Wellington had only 19 points. The indications are for strong northerly winds to gales north of Westporfc and Kaikoura, and elsewhere moderate; to fresh southerlies, and sontherlies becoming general after about twenty-four hours. The weather is likely to ba still unsettled, and in places stormy; ■with rain in most districts. Many further heavy falls can be expected, ynti. thunder at some places. Temperatures will be warm at first, except in southern districts, but a cold change is probable general}}' within from twenty-four trf thirtyrssix hours.
