WEATHER IN JUNE
DRY IN MOST AREAS UNUSUALLY MILD MONTH [ BY TELEGRAPH—PRESS ASSOCIATION] WELLINGTON, Wednesday Reporting on the weather during the month of June, the Dominion Meteorologist states that owing especially to the absence of wind or severe southerly weather, June was a very mild month for winter. Frosts and the lack of rain caused the growth of pasture, to be checked over much of the North Island but elsewhere there was an unusual amount and the quality is better than usual at this time of year. Stock are generally in excellent condition but hoggets still rather backward in many places. Heavy rains in Hawke's Bay, Nelson and in parts of South Canterbury were responsible for those districts having more than the average rainfall. The remainder of the country, however, had a very dry month. Less than half the average was recorded at many places, and in some it was the driest .June on record. The duration of bright sunshine was above the average for June in most places but Nelson, Hanmcr Springs, and South Canterbury had less than the usual. Taurangn recorded 170.0 hours, and Napier 167.8 hours.
