PERSISTENT RAINFALL
NO SIGNS OP CLEARING. NINE INCHES EXCEEDED. Whangarei has become quite used to overcast skies and streaming streets during the past ten days;.'aid this morning proved no exception .. to the rule. On Saturday afternoon conditions for those playing football and hockey were anything but pleasant, and spectators whose enthusiasm outweighed th© state of the weather were also subjected to a moist, hour or so. The fall during the week-end was not severe enough to do any seri-
ous damage. It appears as though last year's fall of 11.72 inches for the month oi! May will be eclipsed this year, as to date, 9.31 inches have been recorded, rain falling on 14 days/ Over ’fialif an inch was registered for’ the 24 hours ended 9 o ’clock this morning, while the barometer and thermometer stood at 30.02 and 58 repectively af * the same hour.
