THE WEATHER HERE AND WEST.

The Difference Eetw cen Dakota and
Savsnnah Temperatures.
That section of the northwest which has
been lately coined into the states of North
a1d South Datoka is experiencing its usual
spell Of high midsummer weather. Tenn
perature as high as 11Os IN the shade are re-
ported and temperatures above 100 have
been common throughout all that section
for several days.
The hot wave moved eastward yesterday,
and now the lake region, the favored sum-
ner resort section of the north, is expert
encing temperature in .he neighborhood OF
1909.
Yesterdays maximum temperature in
Savannah was S9e, aud the highest in over
q month was 949. The beauty about the
temperature Of the northwest, however, is
its variety.
The thermometer may be standing at 105'
in the shade at midday, with people dying
of sunstroke and horses falling in the hsr-
ness, and by midnight cold norther will
come along, the thermometer will go down
to the bottom and the unfortunates who are
go careless as not to nave a supply of blankets
handy stand chance Of being frozen to
death before morning. It is this combina-
ton OF the torrid and frigid zones that
makes the climate of the Dskotas SO at
tractive.
Compared with that country this section
possesses a mild and temperate climate. The
highest the thermometer has been known to
60 here in the last twenty years was 105' :,
July II, 1870. The highest ever recorded
for August is 1908, Aug. 20, 1873, and the
highest for June is 1907, June Is,
1887. This year the highest temper
June 81, the hiehes. for July $40, on July
3, aud the highest for August to date 94',
on the 4th.
The records OF the signal office show this
summer to have been very warm one,
somewhat above he average. The records
kept by the signal office for twenty years
show the average mean temperature for
August at Savannah to have been S0', for
July $50. This does not show such an ex>
tremely high temperature for the
southern latitude. The mean tenn
perauures in the winter here
runs from 5le to So, neither hot nor cold,
but temperate. Savannah can extend her
sympathies to the suffering northwest in
both winter and summer.
Assistant Signal Observer Renoe submits
the following statement Of the weather out
look at present:
The increasing pressure now prevalent
over tais section is favorable for fair
weather and stationary temperature in this
and suburban districts during the next
twenty-four hours The low area, central
yesterday over the northwest, has moved
eastward, and is now central over the upper
lake regions, causing light rains and cooler
weather in that section.
The warm wave prevalent over Dakota,
Kansas and Wyoming during the last few
days has moved to the east
causing unusually warm weather
TO be experienced over portions of New
ork, Pennsylvania and the Middle Allan
tic states generally. The chief maximum
temperatures reported are 940 at New York
CITY and Pittsburg, Pa. st. Louis 96',
Omaha ga.

airy throughout the south and southwest
Very little rain is reported as having
fallen during the last tweIve hours GEN
