FAIRLY GENERAL RAIN

THE WEATHER OUTLOOK

I During the week-end a; succession of intense depressions ' from the Tasman Sea has been crossing the Dominion, with the result that strong west winds have predominated, reaching gale force at ■ places. The weather, generally, has been changeable and squally, and rain has fallen at times in most parts, and has been heavy at places in the western districts. Queenstown had 242 points during the last 24 hours. On< the East Coast, however, only light and scattered falls have occurred.' , At 9 a.m. it waa snowing at a few stations in tho South Island.

At Auckland, it was fine during Saturday morning, but rain fell in the afternoon. Yesterday was squally and changeable, and occasional nain fell with a fresh westerly wind. Wellington, also, had a fine Saturday morning, but it clouded over during tho afternoon. It was also cloudy mostly _on Sunday, and a strong north-west wind during the week-end made conditions unpleasant. The wind was, chiefly north-west at Christehurch, and weather mild "and fair, although a torn-1 porary change to the south-west took plaeo during Saturday evening. ' At Dunediu it was fine and sunny on Saturday morning, and again on Sunday morning; otherwise, the" weather was changeable and squally with rain at times. '■ -

The forecast is for strong, west to south-west winds, still of gale force at exposed positions, and unsettled weather with fairly general rain; snow on the high lands, and hail on parts of the coast; temperatures becoming cooler.'
