HAMILTON, Sunday. — Those stepping out in Hamilton this morning will find light rain; the afternoon should top out near 8°, the night near 0°. That is about what a November day usually brings here, where the long-run average high is 10°. Barely a breath of wind stirs from the WNW, gusting to 15 km/h, and the glass is rising, a sign of settled weather.

Looking over the next 7 days, our correspondent reckons Saturday the pick at about 10°, while Monday night will be the coldest at -2°. Rain or snow is due on 3 of them, some 28 mm in all. Those keeping stock should see to the water troughs, for ice is likely.

By the Almanac's reckoning, November in Hamilton runs from 4° at night to 10° by day, with some 137 mm of rain. July is the warmest month here at 19°, December the coldest at 2°, and December the wettest with 148 mm. The best months to ride in are July and August.

The sun is up 8 h 18 min today, and the days are shortening by about 4 minutes each. The station stands 123 m above the sea.
