OUR BAD WEATHER.

SOMEWHAT UNUSUAL FOR

THE PERIOD.

Many people were awakened by the noise of the rain which fell in the early hours of this morning. and it was generally thought that an exceptionally heavy downpour had occurred.

On making enquiries at the Royal Observatory this morning a Telegraph representative was given the official recordings by Mr. T. F. Claxton, the director. These show that from three o'clock until

10.30 this morning the total rain- fall was 1.760 inch, the heaviest downfalls occurring between 4.30 am and 5.30 a.m. (305 inch), and 6.30 a.m. to 7.30 n.m. (.650 Finch).

The total rainfall for the 24 hours ending at half past ten this morning was 2.47 inches, and the total since January 1 is 104.07 Inches.

Previous heavy falls for 24 hours during the month of October are: 1923, 11.50 inches; 1894 10.19 In- ches; 1926 1.20 inch,
