THE WEATHER

SHOWERY, BUT IMPROVING

Pressure has continued low, though uniform, over the Dominion, and this morning the low centre was situated off the coast of the North Island. The winds have therefore been somewhat variable and moderate in force, but westerlies stil prevail in the far north, and south-easterlies have ruled in the central provinces. There has been a continuance of dull, misty conditions over most of New Zealand, with intermittent rain. Further heavy falls have occurred in parts_ of the North Island, more especially in Taranaki, the Bay of Plenty, and the east coast portion south of East Cape. Oastlepoint has had 507 points, making a total of 828 points for the past 48 hours. Cape Palliser reports 110 points. In the South Island the rain has been only light.

Auckland, with mainly moderate westerly winds, had somewhat changeable ■ weather yesterday. It was foggy oarly, but the fog soon cleared, and tho rest of the morning was fine. In tho afternoon and night showery conditions prevailed. Wellington again experienced dull, misty conditions. There was little wind or rain during the day, but a south-easterly freshened in the evening, when some rain fell, the total fall being 10 points. Christchurch also had dull, misty weather, with oceaßional light showers, the total fall being 1 point only. At Dunedin the weather was unsettled and wet most of tho day, with a north-easterly wind.

The forecast is for mainly moderate and variable winds, west to south-west prevailing in the North Island, and elsewhere sbutherlies, freshening somewhat. The weather is still likely to bo cloudy and misty with scattered rain, but improving somewhat. Temperatures are likely to remain moderato.
