Temperatures will be cool. Except for some showers in the western and far southern districts of the South Island, the weather yesterday was fine and mild generally.. During the night, hoy/ever, southerly winds freshened somewhat and the weather became cold and cloudy. Scattered showers have since fallen over most of the South Island, in the Cook Strait area, and in the far north of the North Island. The anticyclone which was located yesterday over the western part of the Tasman Sea has moved eastward and pressure is now rising over the Dominion, although it is still low to the east. Auckland had fine weather yesterday, but it became cloudy during the night and showers were falling this morning with a light south-westerly wind. ' ■ ' ..
