Mr Pemberton’s weather summary:— Barometric pressure has continued relatively low in the southernmost districts, and unsettled conditions have prevailed in those parts, witli high westerly winds. Fair weather has ruled elsewhere, and west and south-west breezes predominated. Present indications are for freshening westerly winds generally, the barometer falling further in the south. Fair weather is probable in the northern and east coast districts, but a change is due shortly in the west coast and is likely to follow elsewhere southwards of New Plymouth and Castlepoint. ft—lllj-'j.-. 1 11 llv.:; I .'." 11
