LANZHOU, Monday. — Mostly clear skies are the word from the Lanzhou station, with a high of 10° and a low of -6°. That is about what a November day usually brings here, where the long-run average high is 9°. Barely a breath of wind stirs from the S, gusting to 3 km/h, and the glass holds steady.
Looking over the next 6 days, our correspondent reckons Friday the pick at about 13°, while tonight will be the coldest at -6°. Not a drop is expected in that time. Those keeping stock should see to the water troughs, for ice is likely.
By the Almanac's reckoning, November in Lanzhou runs from -3° at night to 9° by day, with some 6.0 mm of rain. July is the warmest month here at 30°, January the coldest at -11°, and August the wettest with 76 mm. The best months to ride in are May and April.
