Weather: For the most part fine in the western and southern districts, but elsewhere still changeable, with passing showers ; conditions should gradually improve. Temperatures cool Midday Forecast General inference. —The development of a cvelonic centre east of the Auckland peninsula caused a temporary fall of pressure in the north last night. At the same time, an intense anti-cyclone is advancing across the Tasman Sea. The situation, therelore, favors strong southerly winds. A further advance of the anti-cyclone should bring a favorable change. Forecast. —Strong southerly winds to gales.
