TO-DAY’S WEATHER FORECAST • WELLINGTON, This Day. New Zealand is still located in an intense highpressure area, the centre lying along the East Coast. The cyclone off the New South Wales coast has, however, deepened and moved eastward, and unsettled conditions are likely from to-mor-row. The forecast is for light to moderate and variable winds but shortly freshening from the north-east or north. Wether fine but clouding over to-inor-row, and rain gradually developing. Seas smooth, but rising to-morrow.
