FAIR AND WARM

BUT RISING WINDS

Special forecast, for Wellington:— Fresh to. strong: north-westerly winds.

Weather fair and warm.

The general forecast for the Do- ■ minion as a whole,' issued at noon today, is* for moderate north-easterly to north-westerly winds which will become strong in and south of Cook Strait. There will be a change to southerlies tomorrow in the southern half of the South Island. The weather will be fair at first in most districts, but some rain will develop on- the West Coast of the South Island and will extend gradually to districts with a westerly aspect and to the southern portion of the South Island. Temperatures will rise.

With the persistence of an anti.cyclone over and to the east of the Dominion, the weather in most districts has been fine, mild, and pleasant. A slight depression passing in the far south, however, has been responsible for scattered rain in the western and far southern districts of the South Island. Northerly winds, light to moderate in force, have prevailed, but in the Cook Strait area these this morning had increased somewhat in force. ■, ; ' '

Auckland has had fine and warm weather with a light north-easterly wind.

Wellington also has had fine weather, yesterday being mild and pleasant with 9.3 hours of bright sunshine. A northerly to north-westerly breeze has prevailed and this freshened somewhat last night.

The weather in Christchurch yesterday was dull with a keen easterly breeze. A northerly breeze was blowing there this morning, however, and the weather was clear and much warmer. ; - .

In Dunedin it has been fair, although with much passing cloud and mist on the surrounding hills. A northerly broeze prevailed there yesterday. During the night a trace of rain fell, the weather at 9 a.m. today being calm and fair. ~ . : ' . <:
