The records of comparative meteor
ology show that in the United States
there are in year 500 hours more OF
sunshine than in fair-skied Italy. and
that Spain gets more than we. But
such general statements hide many mar
ticulars. since hardly any two localities
are alike. the atmospheric conditions
being affected by every mountain, val
ley, lake or plain, and coast climates
are modified by the ocean and its cur
rents. In southern California the an
nual rainfall rarely exceeds twelve
inches; at San Francisco it reaches
twenty-five; farther north II increases
till in Oregon and Washington II
amounts to seventy or eighty, and the
inhabitants are jokingly said to be
'web-footed.
