meteorological Character of Columbia
River Basin-Infuences That Affect
the Climate of the Pacific Coast
The OfaciaI Records.

The mildness of climate of Western
washington IS proverhial; yet Eastern
people who have never visited this region
are at loss to comprehend how state in
me same latitude as Northern New York,
Minnesota and North Dakota does not
nave the same degree of cold that affects
those states. For the information of
Eastern readers, the PosT-ISTELLrGEycER
explains the cause of Washington's equa-
Die climate, and presents the record kept
by the United States signal observers.
1t should be kept in mind that there is a
marked difference between the meteorology
OF that part of Washington lying west of
the Cascade mountains, and the eastern
section, known as the Columbia river
basin. The mildness of the temperature of
the Puget sound basin and Western Wash
ington generally is due to the influence of
the Ruro Sbi,co, or Japanese warm stream,
which, sweeping northward from the
equator along the Japanese group crosses
the North Pacific ocean in northeasterly
direction and strikes the Amer
lean coast somewhere in the vicinity
of Queen Charlotte island, British Column
bia, where it separates into two branches,
one sweeping north past the Aleutian
Islands and the other turning southwark
along the coasts of British Columbia,
Washington, Oregon and California, pro-
duclng that remarkable and uniform mild
ness of climate which is a mystery to East
ern people. This warm stream, varying
from 10 degrees temperature in winter to
81 degrees in summer, comes in from the
ocean into the Straits of Fuca and all the
bays, harbors and inlets of Puget sound
twice in twenty-four hours, only chilled in
winter at the mouths of rivers where ice
occasionally forms.
During the winter months the prevailing
winds are from a southerly direction, vary
ing from southeast to southwest. These
blow the clouds laden with moisture and
give us our never-failing rains and certain
crops. During the summer months west
erly and northwesterly winds prevail,
blowing up Fuca strait and bringing in the
cool ocean air, which tempers the heat.
Subjoined are tables showing the weather
at Port Blakeley for the past thirteen years.
The record is kept by Mr.. r. NJ. Hoskin-
son, official signal observer. 1t should be
stated that Port Blakeley is nine miles
from Seattle, and that the record kept there
will answer, in a general way, for every
point on Puget sound south of the Straits
of Fuca.

An examination OF the foregoing table will

the temperature conditions which prevail over
Eastern Washington; the difference between the

ana the lowest, 49, at Fort Colville, being but
So But variability OF temperature is con-
sldered the most exact way OF determining
equaoility of temperature: the chief signal
officer says:
The variability of temperature means the
temperature from one day to another, irrespec-
1--WE OF whether the temperature rises or tails,
aud is the surest test OF equability and freedom
from violent changes.
1t appears that the variability during these
months from October to march, in Oregon and
nashinkton territory rarely exceeds li2 degrees
Fahrenheit, and in many cases Is less than one
degree thus showing in the state an equabllity
Oh temperature which is unequaled in any other
part OF the United states. except along the I'M
mediate coast line in California, from Cape
Mendocino to San Diego.
PREcIPrTAT1oN
Precipitation, about the most important agri-
cultural factor in Eastern Washington, is of
special interest for the reason that ii has been
represented that the interior portions OF Oregon
and Washington were about rainless. The chief
signal officer says relative to such erroneous
representation:
chart No. letter of chief signal officer on the
climate of Oregon and Washington territory,
whereby 1t appears that the smallest recorded
rainfall, at Pleasant Grove, for two years and
four months, is over 9.5 inches. The area over
which less than 10 inches of rain falls does not
cover per centum of either state, and by
curious coincidence it appears by the report of
Second Lieutenant Frank Greene, signal corps,
on THE Interior Wheat Lands of oregon and
Washington Territory, that over the greater part
OF this region of small rainfall wheat is grown
without irrigation. Indeed, according to Lieu
tenant Greenes report, crops can be grown in
nine-tenths of both these states without irriga-
ton, and in the other tenth it is probable that
on this point the character of the soil has as
important bearing deficient rainfall. An
examination OF charts ? and deter from chief
signal officer on the climate OF Oregon and Wash
ington territory, of the mean seasonal rainfall
for the wet season, from October to April, and
the dry season, from May TO September discloses
that In the eastern half of these states the rain
fall during the dry season is about half what it
is during the Wet season. 1t follows from this
equable distribution of rainfall throughout the
year, that agricultural operations are more fruit
full with small rainfall than in some sections
OF other states with considerably larger preeipi-
tation.
