SOME RECORD WEA AI,HER.
REMARKABLE RAINFALL AND HEAT AV-
ERAGES THIS YEAR.

New-fork City has had some remarkable
weather this year. both for rainfall and for
heat In the months of January and February
there was nothing out of the ordinary in the
weather, hut in March SIS inches of rain fen
which is 10 inches above the normal rainfall
FOR that month. In April $50 inches of rain fell
or 3o3 inches more than the normal This rain
fall was greater than for any other month re-
corded since the Weather Bureau was estab-
lished. in 1871. except in 1874. when there was
fall of 702 inches. In May 701 inches fell. an
excess of 364 inches over the average for that
month in any year since and including 1871
June was comparatively dry. showing only O.94
of an inch. a deficiency of 2.13 inches COM
pared with the same month in other years since
the local Weather Bureau established. For
the first twenty-one days of July the amount of
rain that has fallen aggregates 435 inches. an
excess of 90 hove the normal.
For only month since March has the av-
erage temperature fallen below the average for
the same month in other years. March gave a
mean temperature of 50 degrees. which is two
degrees above the normal or mean temperature
and April. with 40 degrees. was one degree
above the average May was one degree cooler
than the average shown by other Mays since
1911 with only 80 degrees mean. The Il de-
grees that represents the mean temperature for
last June is two degrees above the normal for
that month.
July, however. has been a record breaker to a
greater extent than any other month this year
The mean daily temperature for the first TWEEN
ty-one days is 20 degrees and is the highest
ever recorded for any July since the local
Weather Bureau was established The normal
daily temperature for the July of other years
since 1871 is - degrees. 1t is hardly probable
that the remainder of the month will be so cold
that the mean temperature will he so low as il
has heen III other years
The maximum temperature in this city yes
terday was 90 degrees, which was reached at
4:30 P. m. and the minimum was as degrees at
80 a. m The humidity remained low all day
fiuctuating between ~ and ~ per cent

sequent upon the continuance of this tryine,

northern portion OF Illinois, in Minnesota and I'M

warm weather is again predicted for Friday In
the great belt the intense heat still con-

meet of general rain. though the fact that show
ers are becoming more general than for some days
is encouraging the officials here. who hope they
NAV be the forerunner OF general breakup in the

For tomorrow showers are indicated for the re-
