OCTOBER, 31 Days.
Chinese Ist Year, Intercalary and IXth Moons.
Northerly winds prevail throughout this month, occasionally veering to north- east or northwest; but the temperature of the atmosphere is neither so cold nor so dry as in the following months; neither does the northerly wind blow so constantly-southerly and easterly winds intervening every now and then. The winter usually sets in with three or four days of light drizzling rain.
