Climatological Data for April, 1 9 10.
DISTRICT N o . 1 1 , CALIFORNIA.
Prof. ALEXANDER G. MCADIE. Dbtrld Editor.
GENERAL SUMMARY.
The month of April was, on the whole, warmer than usual and
drier. A fair index of the general conditions throughout, the State is afforded by the records at Sail Fraiicisco, covering a
period of 61 years, whereby we are enabled to compare the general character of the month with other Aprils. The present
month belongs decidedly iin the group of dry Aprils. Since.
1906 the average frequency of rainy clays in the central portion
of the State has been 4: but on the other hand, in earlier years
the average frequency was 6, and in certain groups of years rose
to 9. In individual years there have been 10 or inore rainy clays,
aid in one year (1880) there were 17 days on which rain fell.
Of this number, there were 11 consecutive clays. In April,
1857, no rain fell and this condition was almost paralleled during
April, 1909, when only a trace of rain fell during the entire
month. As will be shown elsewhere, in discussing the snowfall,
the precipitation at high levels in the State during the present
April was also deficient, although greater than the aniount
which fell during the preceding April. The most iiiarketl gen-
eral feature of the month then was its comparative dryness. The other significant feature was the continued warmth. It
will be renieniberecl that the month of March was likewise
warm. In fact, the continued high temperature and deficieiit
precipitation were noticeable over a large portion of the United
States. It seems likely, therefore, that, the same general ron-
trolling causes, whatever they may be, continued to act though- out April in the Pacific coast States. Indeed, during the last
week of the month, teiiiperatures were higher than ever before recorclecl for the same period of the year. -4s stated in the
National Weekly Bulletin for the week ending May 2, the warm
area "nioved slowly eastward a8 the week ntlvanced, bringing unusually high temperatures throughout the entire central ani1
northern portions of the country as far east as the Atlantic
coast by the 30th." The 22cl and 23d of April were the warmest days of the
year, and a t Los Angeles and San Diego masiinuni temperature
records were broken. At tlie fornier place a temperature of
100" was recorded. A t Fresno the highest temperature pre-
viously reported, 100.8 " F. , was esceeded, the teinperature reaching 101.1". The mean temperature for the month a t
Fresno was the second highest on record. htany of the coopera-
tive observers called attention in their reports to the warin character of the month ancl some stated it was the warmest
April on record.
There was less cloudy weather than usual ani1 fewer pressure
disturbances. The surface winds, escept where tleterininetl hy
local draughts, were mainly froin the north, and this prohably
explains the comparative dryness, as these are not rain-hearing winds. The first decade was one of quiet weather ancl iiorninl
air movement. There was nothing noteworthy until April 0,
when a small disturbance developed over the Sierra. As it
subsequently appeared, this was tlie forerunner of a general
depression which caused 48 hours or more of unsettled weather
over the whole coast. Froiii April 14 until the end of the month, with the exception of brief intervals on April 27 and 30, the
weather was fair ancl pleasant, due probably to a succession
of high areas crossing the Pacific slope north of the 30th
parallel. On April 22 am1 23 a inoderate norther prevailed. During the first 24 hours the following temperatures were re-
ported: Los Angeles. 98'; Ran Diego, 94"; San Luis Ohispo,
94"; ancl 8an Francisco, 86". An interesting comparison of
temperatures is the following, showing, as it does, a temperature
gradient steep enough to have caused a decided indraught of
air from the cooler to the warnier stations. Such result, how-
ever, did not occur. April 32, 1910, 5 p. in., San Francisco, Sa", wind 4 miles per hour from the nort,hwest; Southeast
Farallon, 54 ', wind northwest, 13 miles. The maximum tem-
perature recorded at San Francisco during the clay was 86". The inasimum tcwperature recorded at the Farallones during
the day was 56". On April 23, during t,he afbernoon, the tem- perature at San Francisco rose t.0 87 O, which, with the exception
of April 14, 1888, when t,he teniperature rose to 88", was the
wariuest April day ever recorded. At Fresno the temperature rose to 100' or slight.ly above; at Los Angeles, loo", breaking
the record; at. Han Diego, 96". Again it is interesting to
notice that at. t,he snine moment, the temperatures at Sail Fran-
cisco and at blie Farallones were, respectively, 84' and 50" and the wind dit1 not blow from the colder to the warmer region, but
esactly opposite.
The warn1 period was followed, as frequently happens, by fog along the coast. The temperature a t $an Francisco was, on the aft,ernoon of April 34: 32" lower than at the same hour on the
preceding day.
TEMPERATURE.
(h e hundred and eighty-eight! statiolis were considered in
tlet,erininiiig the mean temperature for the State. This wm 59.8'. Departures from the nornial were available for 128
sbations ancl these show t,liat the month was 3.6" above the
normal. This was the wsrinest April in the past 6 years. The nest wannest was in 1008 when the mean temperature was 58.4'.
The coldest. April was in 1906 when the mean temperature was
56.3 '. The highrst t.enipwat,ure recorded at any one station
during t,Iic. nioiith was 1 lo', at. Leiiion Cove, on the 24th, and the
lowest !I", a t htaccloel, on the 4th. The station report,ing the
the liighcst~ ~nont,hly niean was Bagdad, 78.8 ". Other stations wit.11 a high niont,lily mean temperature are Maminoth Tank,
75.2"; Needles. 74.S'; Palin Springs, 73.3"; Brawley, 73.8"; and
Tehama, i2.4 ". The coldest stat.ioii, as determined by the
inont,hly niean, was Maccloel, 42.4 ", followed by Madeline, 44.4;
La Porte, 47.S"; and Alturas, 98.8".
PRECIPITATION.
One hundred and eighty-nine stations were considered in
tlet.erinining t.he inoiithly rainfall for the State, which was 0.62
inch. The departures from the nornial for 133 stations
showecl a deficiency of 1.40 inch. The greatest 24-hour rainfall
was 3.61 inches on tlie 10th aiicl 11th at Upper Mattole. The greatest. mont,lily ainount was 3.49 inches at Monumental. At
24 stat.ions no rainfall was reported. April, 1909, had less rain
th:ui blie prctsents April. That, however, was the driest April
on recoril, wit,li the single esception of April, 1857.
WIND.
The prevailing tlirect,ion of the wind was northwest.
Tlicbre w:is more sunshine t,han usual. At Sacramento, 319
hours; San Diego, 382; San Luis Obispo, 270; Fresno, 344; San Francisco, 319; Eureka, 149; Los Angeles, 389; Red Bluff, 206;
aiitl Sui Jose, 2%.
SUNSHINE.
EARTHQUAKES.
Eartlicluakes were report21 as follows: Ran Diego, 11 :57
p. in., on the 10t.h; Alameda, 6:50 a. in., on the 23d; El Cajon,
midnight of t4he 10th; Heber, midnight of the 11 th; Iclyllwild, 5:30 a. in., of the 10th and 13:08 a. in.', of the 11th; Priest Val-
ley, 3 slio~lis on the 30th; Retllanrls, just before inidnight of t,he
11th; Hnn Rernardino. 3 157 1). ni., of the 11th.
April, 1910, was a nioiith of light snowfall.
SNOWFALL IN THE MOUNTAINS.

level. There is nearly always a snow covering extending down
to the 1,500-meter level; while in tlie gulches and on mountain
tops the depth of snow at the end of April exceeds several feet.
April, 1909, broke the records for light! snowfall during the
month, the record covering a period of 10 years; but tliere
had been heavy snow earlier in the season and the snow cover
at the beginning of the nionth was above normal. April, 1910,
had a little more snow than fell in the same month the previous
year, but the snow cover was by no means so deep. The out-
look, therefore-, is unfavorable for an abundantr supply of water
during the coming season, unless there should be later pre-
cipitation. An interesting comparison of the depth of snow at
the close of April for the past 3 years is recorded by the following
table :

As stated elsewhere, the iiiondh was warm and the snow melted rapidly. In the Sierra foothills the snowfall was light
and clicl not remain long after falling. By the mitltlle of the
month the snow was Dracticallv off the ground. remaining only on the northern slopi3 and in ihe deep &lies.'

STEEP DESCENTS OF CALIFORNIA RIVERS.
The story of the Colgate and Yuba power plant,s is most in-
terestingly - - told
I
by - Mr. . Archie . - - - Rice . - . - in the - Journal ___ of . Elect,ricity, - Power, and Gas, for April 30, 1910, and the following estracts
are made, by permission of the editor. This is one of the
largest, as i t was one of the earliest hyclroelectric enterprises for the long-distance transmission of power on the Pacific slope.
Power is delivered to the cities on San Francisco Bay, a tlis-
tance of about 140 miles. I n describing California's wealth of
water power, Mr. Rice states:
To understand why it is that California is so woxitlerfully rich in watw power you must bear in mind that there are a dozen or more rivers rushing down from sourcea high in the lofty Sierra. Wherever water can bo diverted and made to flow gradually along the side of a river canyon and produce t i
single plunge of several hundred feet, there power can be developed to run an
electric generating plant. How splendidly California is supplied with steep
rivers is indicated in the accompanying table, which givw the foot-drop to the mile for several well-known eastern rivers and for some of those in Cali- fornia. In t.his connection it will be rccalled t,hat the Yuba River s l o p
average 100 feet to the mile between t.he dam and the Colgate power house, nncl t,hat the diverting flunie is given a drop of less than 13 feet. to the mile. T1i:it flume slopr is much great.er than is really necessary. The mighty Mi+ xis4ppi gors to t.hrh Gulf wit.11 a drop of only a lit.tle more than 7 inches to the mile. Thr st.cep descent of most of the California rivers enaLh1w power developers t.o 1oritt.e more t.han one plant on tlie same diverted water system by leading t.hr diechargrd water from the upper plant down by eaay gradients to some point wherc anot.lier big drop cnn be produced.
NOTES ON THE RIVER CONDITIONS I N THE SACRAMENTO AND
BAN JOAQUIN WATERSHEDS DURING APRIL, 1910.
The R(i.cmnioiio Ifcitershed.-'The average of all river gage readings throughout the Sacraniento Valley, as a whole, during
April, 1910, fairly represented the normal condition of the
streams for this season of the year. The average, on the whole, was maintainecl, however, as t,he result of rapidly melting snow
in the mountains, rather than from the effects of precipitation,
which was markedly deficient..
The western tributaries of t>he Sacrament,o River, and the Pacranieiit,o it.self above Redcling, were lower than in any April
of recent years, except that of 1908, when all st,reanis in the cmtral valleys of California were exceptionally low.
The avcrage stage of the Yuha R.iver, on t,he east, was also
considerably below 6lie nonnal, having been t,he same as that. of
April, l9OS. Owing to its restricteil watershed this stream was
blie first of any iiiiport,aiice t.0 recede, the snows that feed it,s
niinierous forks in t,hc high alt.itutles having mostly all melted hy t,he 10th or 15t,Ii of April.
The run-off in the tribut.aries of t.he Feather River, especially
ita northern and mitlclle forks, was sufficient to keep this streani moilerat,ely high during the entire nionth.
The American River averaged about 1 foot above the usual
April stage and carried more wat.er than it, has for any April aiiictr that of 1007, when it was exceptionally full for the nionth in quest,ion.
At the close of thr lllonth all flood basins of the Sacramento
River had practically ceased discharging, and niany large areas,
t.1~a.t usually are covered with water until the middle of May or tlie 1st of June, had become dry through seepage and evapora-
tion. The visible water supply now availalJe for the Sacranittnto
Valley is much less than for many years, and it is forecast that
there will he a inarkecl shortage of water during the coming sunliner.
The Snn Jnayuin M'atershed.-Except the Calaveras R.iver,
which was exceptionally low during the greater part of the
month, all streams that supply the 8an Joaquiii River averaged
over 1 foot above the normal April stage. The Ban Joaquin itself carried more water than for any other April since that of 1907.
Owing to the unusually early melting of the snows in the
southern Sierra the spring rises throughout t.he San Joaquin Valley hegaii from 20 to 30 clays earlier than usual, and the
run-off in almost all streams during April was coniparahle nith
that of the niitldle of June, when t.he spring rises usually culmi-
nate.
The present available wat,er supply for tlie entire Ban Joaquin
watershed appears to be limited, and it is safe to predict a clecidecl shortage of water for the coining summer and fal1.-
