SuMM.ARY Fon TIIFJ Mo~TH OF JIEnRUARY, 1923. With the exception of a fair-weather period between the 8th and l:lth, February proved very unsettled and unseasonabl~ on account of depressions of both tropical and antarctic origin. Cyclonic storms pagsed northward of the Dominion on tho !st and 28th, and a cyclone acted in conjunction with a westerly "low" between the 14th and Hlth. An intense westerly low-pressure area ruled between the iith and 9th, and depressions of the latter type were also frequent, though generally of only moderate intensit_v, between t,he 18th and 27th. The effect of these various disturbances is shown in a rainfall above the average over most .of New Zealand. Deficiencies, however, occurred on the east coast, in the extreme north and south, and ahout New Plymouth in the North Island, and in the northernmost districts and in parts of Central Otago in the South Island. Wine] force was higher and temperatures were lower than tho normal. D. C. BATES, Director. Al'RIL 12.1 1031
