BANKET, Wednesday. — Banket may look for an overcast sky this day, with the mercury climbing to about 30° before sinking to 17° by night. That is about what a November day usually brings here, where the long-run average high is 29°. Barely a breath of wind stirs from the SW, gusting to 17 km/h, and the glass is rising, a sign of settled weather.

Looking over the next 7 days, our correspondent reckons Thursday the pick at about 32°, while Thursday night will be the coldest at 16°. Rain or snow is due on 2 of them, some 15 mm in all. No frost is in sight.

By the Almanac's reckoning, November in Banket runs from 16° at night to 29° by day, with some 98 mm of rain. October is the warmest month here at 31°, July the coldest at 5°, and January the wettest with 217 mm. The best months to ride in are June and July.

The sun is up 12 h 52 min today, and the days are lengthening by about 1 minutes each. The station stands 1,198 m above the sea; nights in high country cool fast once the sun is down.
