HAMILTON SWELTERS.
EXCEPTIONALLY HUMID.
NO SIGN OF PEAT FIRES.
(By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.)
HAMILTON, this day.
The past week has been exceptionally humid in Hamilton, with a shade temperature from 92 to 94 degrees. Yesterday, as a welcome change, rain set in and the temperature dropped to 85. The rainfall totalled only ,31in, making 1.34 in for the year to date, but it has done a great amount of good to Waikato pastures, which were .becoming parched.
Desite the long, dry spell there have been no signs of the serious peat fires that raged during the hot summer of 1935.
