Some idea Of the climate Of California may
be formed by the following meteorological items
of the weather and thermometer at Monterey,
kept by Talbot H. Greene ESQ.,, merchant at
Monterey, during the space Of a yeer, viz: from
March, lS45, to February, l846:
In March. l845, the thermometer averaged 65
at noon. There was no rain, the sky generally
clear.
In April, same degree Of heat; FIVE rainy days
four foggy, th3 others clear.
In May, the thermometer at noon never rose
higher than 81, and never fell lower than 56
weather clear.
In June, the highest MONDAY heat was 73;
the lowest 60; weather clear.
In July, The highest heaI at noon u, lowest
60; clear skies.
In August, creates. kea! at noon, 72, lowest
s3; Gear skies.
In September, greatesV heat al noon, 73; low.
est 6f; clear skies, occasional fogs at 8 in the
morning; rain once only.
In October, greatest Heat at noon 70; lowest
SO; fogs in the morning, days clear; rain three
times within this monIh-a liule rain in the night
on two occasions.
In November, greatest heat 76; lowest 60;
weather generally cleai; rains in the night oc-
casionally.
In December, greatest heat &c; lowest 81;
clear weather rain on four different nights this
monlh.. 90.
In January, 1916, greatest heat sc; lowest 4S
more rain this month than the former months.
In February, l846, Average heat at noon, s2
clear skies rain on three different nights.
A pretty general idea may be formed from
this, of the climate as TO warmth. 1t appears
10 be remarkably mild and IemPerate.-This' is
the result Of the facts, not conclusion of mere
opinion.
