The general forecast for the Dominion as a whole, issued at noon today for the ensuing twenty-four hours, is for light to moderate and variable winds, north-easterlies to northerlies predominating. Weather clear and fine generally at first but with cloud increasing in northern and western districtSj and scattered drizzly rain developing in the far north and south. Temperatures mild. Thanks to the anticyclone which extends from Australia to beyond the Dominion, well-nigh ideal weather is now being experienced over almost the whole of the country.. Little so far has come of the depression which ap- ! peared to be developing yesterday near Norfolk Island, so the unsettled conditions which were anticipated in northern New Zealand have not eventuated. Winds have been light to variable, but moderate easterlies now blow north of Auckland.
