The cause OF this abnormal condition
has been the uniform high pressure II
the Gulf region with an almost
stationary low pressure area in
the northwest. This distribution o.
the atmosphere has caused {
steady flow of warL-, dry air 10 the
northward. The inflow o. air has been
too slow to induce rainfall and the conse.
ouent clear sky has been favorable 10 ex
treme radiation from the sun, which has
reached the temperature steadily with
out the usual relief from the passage OF
storms around the country. That sim.
liar conditions prevailed over the East
ern United States in May, 1881, and in
the middle Mississippi in June Of
1874 and 1857, is no indication o.
change in climate. A relief
from these conditions may be ex
pected by Sunday night Unusually
