Very seasonal weather conditions prevail in and about Otorohanga, and cold nights, with slight degrees of frost, followed by beautiful days of warm sunshine, have obtained for the past week. As a result of the warm days there is still a noticeable pasture growth, and although late in the dairying season the production of cream continues well up to the standard of previous early winter seasons.
