JANUARY IN WELLINGTON
V DRIEST FOR 41 YEARS Wellington, February 1 The weather in Wellington during January was exceptional in several respects. There was an almost entire absence of rain, the total fall for the month being less than one-fifth of an inoh, marking it as the driest January for 41 years. Wellington belied t its reputation as “the windyj city" last month, a remarkable feature • of the meteorological records being the even atmospheric pressure, due to more or less constant anticyclonic conditions and the many days of calms or light airs. Strong northerly or westerly winds were conspicuous only by their absence. ,The bright sunshine recorded during the month was far above the average. NO RAIN IN NELSON Nelson, Feb 1 No rain was recorded in Nelson in January. Only twice in the past fdrty* five years, in February, 1908, and in March, 1911, has there been no rain.
