THE WEATHER
Evoryboday is talking -about it, of course; and equally of course, everybody is grumbling. Those who imagine this month a rain is anything like a record will he interested to know that in one day early last year there was as much rain in Wellington as has fallen eince the 10th of the present month. The downpour, however, has been tolerably heavy and continuous, though it must not be forgotten that la*st Sunday there were seven hours of sunshine. The fall was heaviest on Wednesday from 8 a.m. till after noon, one inch falling in five hours. The heaviest for 24 hours was 2.13 inches from 9 a.m. on the 16th to 9 a.m. on the 17th. The Dominion Meteorologist last night predicted easterly and south-easterly winds with still more rain. , , Our Hutt and Petone correspondent telephones that the Hutt rivor is coming down in large volume, and that it has encroached on the low-lying parts of both the Tren*. tham and Hutt golf links. A Press Association message states that the temperature at Auckland yesterday, U degrees, was the lowest this winter.
