The , showers gave place later .to a, steady , downpour, which was still: falling at a late hour.. '\. The rainfall for the 24 hours ended midnight, as registered by the HiaAii gauge, was .U inches. . The following weather forecast was Imikk) hv Mr. Clement L. Wracea at

seven o'clock last ■ evening:—The centre of the great depression Silith, is- now hanging over Cook Strait, the Wairarapa, . and Hawkels ; Bay. ■It is of' such wide . extent, embracing the whole country from the North Cape to Stewart Island, ( that tome time must yet elapse before atmospheric conditions become normal. During the next 60 hours, a' continuance of very variable and unsettled weather, with occasional heavy rainfalls, is likely in many parts of the Dominion, alternating with periods of passing sunshine and clearing skies, to be followed by a renewal of the squally conditions indicated. Matters should be rather better over the Auckland Province than in the South but worse conditions, with heavy enow squalls, seem imminent in the South Island. Winds unstable and variable, chiefly between weit-eouth-west, south-south-west, and south-east. Bough seas developing south from New Plymouth and Cape Campbell.
