ZHIFANG, Tuesday. — An overcast sky is the word from the Zhifang station, with a high of 11° and a low of -1°. That is about what a November day usually brings here, where the long-run average high is 11°. Barely a breath of wind stirs from the ESE, gusting to 4 km/h, and the glass is falling — a change is coming.

Looking over the next 7 days, our correspondent reckons Friday the pick at about 14°, while tonight will be the coldest at -1°. Rain or snow is due on 1 of them, some 3.3 mm in all. Those keeping stock should see to the water troughs, for ice is likely.

By the Almanac's reckoning, November in Zhifang runs from 2° at night to 11° by day, with some 15 mm of rain. July is the warmest month here at 27°, January the coldest at -4°, and July the wettest with 112 mm. The best months to ride in are April and March.

The sun is up 10 h 33 min today, and the days are shortening by about 2 minutes each. The station stands 1,377 m above the sea; nights in high country cool fast once the sun is down.
