WEATHER SUMMARY.
METEOROLOGICAL REPORT. WELLINGTON, May 6. Tho following is the weather summary for April by the Government meteorologist: The weather of the month of April was on the whole fine, dry, and sunny, with the rainfall generally below the average, but in parts of Canterbury tho total falls were very much higher. For example, the total month’s rainfall at Christchurch, 6.25 inches, is over three times the mean for the month. This result is owing chiefly to the passage between 15th and 19th and the subsequent extension of a cyclonic storm off tne East Coast. The same remarkable tendency to intensify after passing over the country was evidenced about 10 days earlier, so that in a brief period Canterbury experienced an unusual succession of stormy southerly weather. The East Coast of the North Island mostly escaped and the total month’s fall at Napier is only 0.18 inches for three days, with bright sunshine, amounting to 229 hours, and no sunless days. ,
