METEOROLOGICAL

THE WEATHER To-day's North Island Report. Overcast conditions were reported at Tanranga this morning, but blue skies prevailed elsewhere in the North Island, with light to fresh easterly breezes general. The barometer showed little movement at a high level. Temperatures at 9 o’clock were Auckland, Opotiki, and Wellington 63 degrees, Timrang;\ t Hast Cape, Gisborne, and Napier 60. Rough sons were reported at Tiritiri and Tauranga; elsewhere moderate or smooth. Last Night’s Forecast A fairly vigorous westerly depression Ims passed Tasmania, and will begin to affect southern New Zealand to-morrow. Owing to the presence of an intense anticyclone over the Dominion, however, it is likely to lose its intensity. Winds: South-east to east from Cook Strait northwards; strong in the far north; elsewhere light to fresh north-east to north over the South Island and later moderate to strong. Seas: Rather rough to rough north of East Cape and the far south: elsewhere smooth to moderate. Eastern Tasman Sea: Moderate to strong north-east to northerly winds: seas rather rough. Weather: For the most part fair to line and mild, but a fow showers likely in the northern and southern extremities of the Dominion. * Midday Forecast General inference. —An intenso anticyclone is still located east of Now Zealand, while a. depression is advancing across flic Tasman Sea. The position, however, is controlled principally by a small cyclone centred near the northern extremity of the Dominion, and moving south-south-east. Forecast. —Moderate, but freshening easterly winds. Weather, line and mild, hut later becoming cloudy and misty, and rain developing north of Hawke's Bay hy to-morrow. Seas, smooth to moderate, but rising.
