THE WEATHER

WELLINGTON, December 9. The weather report is as follows: — General situation: Pressure is still very low over the Dominion. The northern extension of yesterday’s depression is now moving across the North Island. A fresh and very deep depression has, however, developed over south-eastern Australia. Forecast: Winds south-westerly to westerly in a few places, but otherwise north-westerlies prevailing, the force variable, but strong at times in most districts, and rising to a gale in places. Seas (N.Z. waters): Slight to moderate in coastal waters on much of the east coast, but otherwise rather rough to rough. Eastern Tasman-Sea: Strong winds from between west and north, reaching gale force in the central and southern portions. Seas rough to high in the southern portion; elsewhere rather rough to rough. Weather changeable, and with rain at times in most districts, but more especially the western- ones. Some scattered heavy falls and thunder are probable. Temperatures moderate to mild.
