Eastern Tasman Sea—Moderate to strong winds between north-east and south-east, seas rough in the southern portion, elsewhere moderate to rather rough.

Conditions in Timaru. The weather was fine in Timaru on Saturday morning, and after mid-day the sun shone brightly. Late in the afternoon, however, a heavy nor’west wind made conditions unpleasant, the wind changing towards nightfall to bring a cold snap. Rain was experienced during the night, but there was not sufficient to register one point on the gauge at Timaru Park. Although overcast conditions were experienced yesterday, and rain threatened at about 1 p.m., the day remained fine.
