Oklahoma City: The United States
weather bureau here has complied sta.
tistics which show the total number Of
Precipitations from 1891 TO 1899, with
the direction of the wind At the time
OF the next preceding observation. and

quently during May and less, frequent
ly during February; southwcstcrly
winds most frequently during March

During the winter months the pre-
raiI'ng direction of wind preceding

ciPitation. however. frequently follows

naming months the prevalent wind
preceding pt ccipitation is southcastcrly
