The Rainy Season. July, August and
| September constitute the so-called
rainy season." but the rains during
| these months, when there arc any. while
! they are often violent are nothing more
| than showers. 1t soon clears of and
| the sun comes out as bright ms ever In
| July of this year there was scarcely any
| rain. In no country are there so many
| days of sunshine as in Arizona
Exceedingly Small Rainfall.-Nt Tue
son the rainfall for the whole year is only
about eleven inches. Some years it is
not even as much as that. During the
nine months, October to June inclusive,
lS94-5 there were but twenty five cloudy
days and nine of those were in one
month.
Temperature. During the months ol
June. July and August the average TEN
perature is about 80 degrees, but there
is so little humidity in the atmosphere
that no inconvenience is experienced
There being but limited irrigation in the
ncighborhood of Tncson there is no
humidity produced in that way, as is
notably the case III the neighborhood OF
Phoenix, where agricultural develop.
ment has through the aid of irrigation
reached great stage. The fall, winter
and spring months can be compared
with the Italian cline Flowers bloom
during the entire winter months.
Wonderful Dryncss of Climate. There
is nothing more remarkable about the
climate of Tucson than it's drvness. II
what is called sultry weather as in the
east. recent visitor to Tucson Joking
ly remarked that mot even the rains
seemed damp" 1t is a fact that the ef
feet of heavy shower is observable for
but few hours. In this dry climate
sunstrokes are unknown. The dry air
induces exceedingly rapid evaporation OF
the abundant perspiration. AS n mat
ter of course the supply of fluid must be
maintained, hence one drinks a great
deal of water here.
Good Water at Tucson. n.-Everyonc is
aware OF the Importance of good water,
and this Tucson certainly has. More
over, there are two ice factories which
supply any quantity of beautiful ice.
Effect OF dry Climate on Temperature
Another effect Of the extremely dry eli |
mate is that the sensible temperature is |
far less than that recorded by the thcr- |
mometer would indicate. Some claim
that there is a difference OF as m .tch rs |
fifteen degrees between the sensible tenn
pcrature and that recorded by he ther |
mometer.
Climate the Only Cure for Pulmonary |
Disease. - 1t is admitted TINT no medical |
treatment has yet been discovered that |
will cure pulmonary consumption The |
only cure is that of climate, and in Tue |
son the warm dry atmosphere seems to |
he especially cfiicacious. As to the special !
advantage which its climate offers for |
the relief and restoration of those suffer |
ing from pulmonary complaints. note
what different prominent physicians of
the city say:
