THE WEATHER , To-day’s North Island Report 5 Overcast conditions were reported at Wellington this morning, but blue skies prevailed elsewhere in the North Island. Light south-westerly breezes were reported at Napier and north of Gisborne and light north- J westerlies further south. The barometer had continued the rising move- ■ ment. Temperatures at 9 o’clock ( were: Auckland 40, Tauranga and ' East Cape 41, Opotiki 4G, Gisborne ] 39, Napier 43, and Wellington 42. i Moderate or smooth seas were report- i ed everywhere. 1 Last Night’s Forecast , An intense anticyclone covers Australia and extends across the Tasman ■ Sea on to the Dominion, and the indi- ; cations, therefore, point to a more : settled type of weather' during the next few days. The forecast is for winds north-westerly at first on parts of the east coast of the South Island, but south-westerly to southerly prevailing, strong in some exposed positions but decreasing and otherwise light to moderate. Seas in New Zealand waters will be rather rough to rough south of East Cape and north of Farewell Spit, but gradually decreasing, elsewhere moderate. In the eastern Tasman Sea there will be moderate to strong southerly winds, with rough seas, but the wind and sea will be gradually decreasing. A few isolated showers are still probable at first on the east coast and in the far south, but the weather, otherwise, will be fine. Temperatures will be cold, with some hard frosts. Midday Forecast General inference.—An intense anticyclone covers Australia and extends across the north Tasman Sea on to New Zealand. A.series of very slight ’ depressions is passing to the south. Forecast.—Light to moderate variable winds, with south-westerlies predominating. Weather fine; cold night, with sharp frosts. Seas slight to moderate. ■ m
