Last night, while the rise continued in the north, there was a slight fall in the south, indicating the advance of another secondary depression across the South Tasman Sea. As a consequence, the wind this morning was more west than ' south in Cook Strait and South Island. Scattered rains fell yesterday, but there wero few heavy falls. Thunderstorms accompanied tho squally change which passed up tho East Coast from Kaikoura to Hawkcs Bay between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. At Wellington a number of peals wero heard between 11 a.m. and 11.45.
