THE WEATHER.
FORECAST BY MR. C, I*. WRAGGE. The following weather forecast was .issued by Mr. Clement L. Wragge at 9 o'clock last evening of the most remarkable distributions of pressure on record now rules the country. It takes the shape of a hug© anticyclone or atmospheric "mountain," at the apex of which, between Wellington and Napier, the barometer reads as high as 30,60, while the slopes therefrom not <mly cover both islands, but also overlap the Tasman Sea, And extend far into west longitude. For the present this means fine to cloudy weather, with- some showers along the east coast of North Auckland, with mist and fog inland, but the aspect is decidedly ominous with regard 'to the early future. That a disturbance named Wemath 'is about midway between *he Dominion and Australia there is little, if any, doubt, and as a reaction is bound to follow when the barometer begins to fall, rain and gales' seem assured within a -week from date, veering northerly. Rough seas between Auckland and Nuflh Cape. From the strictly meteorological outlook the position is of absorb:!"; interest. There is a storm in the sun about 20,000 miles in ; diameter.
