WEATHER PECULIARITIES
STRATFORD IN A NEW ROLE. VARIATIONS IN TARANAKI. In the past day or two Stratford has witnessed storm clouds banking over northern Egmont, dispatching bad weather over New Plymouth and district while Central Taranaki has enjoyed summer.
Mount Egmont has been a weird sight from Stratford, with its eastern slopes visible with the bluish clarity betokening rain. The- mountain’s silhouette and the northern. slopes have been wreathed constantly in billowing and black clouds, mounting like wrath in the west and dissolving harmlessly into nothingness as a west wind blew them over the plains. Reports from New Plymouth have given Stratford people cause for secret elation. Stratford people have played tennis and bowls on dry lawns, hampered only by dust blown down the streets by a boisterous but warm westerly wind.
