PROSPECTS OF RAIN
barometer now falling.
END OF HIGH READINGS
Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, ALarch 28. Tho barometer is failing. That in it self is no rare meteorological phen omcnon but it is interesting as it ap parent.y marks the termination of tin long period of high barometric pressuß that lias persisted throughout Alarm and has no parallel in previous meteorological records. Whether the country will get tie much-needed rain from the preseit disturbances is in the lap or gods. Meteorologists are expecting it, but so far it lias not materialised. The average 9 a.m. barometric peasure of 1023.4 millibars is the higlest Alarch. average recorded in Wellington since records were first taken in Dot, and has been attained, not by vituo of high readings, but by the absene of Jow ones. The reading to-day was 008.1, and pressure is still or the down-grade. ' Conditions over the Tasman aio much disturbed, and there is apparently a big disturbance away to the auth-e-ast.
