There has been a gradual fall' of pressure, especially in the south, with the approach of the depression centred yesterday over the south-west Tasman Sea. Fogs were again reported from a number of places this morning. ' .

The forecast is for light to moderate and variable winds, with northerlies prevailing at first, but changing later to west and in places to southwest. The weather is still likely to be fair to fine and warm for the most part, but some scattered local rains are likely in .the far north, and later in other districts, but more especially on the West.Coast and -in, the far south of the South Island. . .
