OUR JULY WEATHER.
Hicks Offers Little Hope, Of Less
!: + Rain for July. ]. ~


ing these forecasts shows per-
turbation to be central on July lst
and extending in its influence up to
the 10th. This doesnot signify that
storms will prevail all the time
during the first ten days of tha
month. 1t does, however, indicate
that noticeable tendency to cloudi-
ness will prevail during most Of
this time. with misty, drizzljng
weather in many parts of the
country. The first is a reactionary
period, central on Thursday and
Friday, the 2nd and 3rd.
The dominating influence will
strengthen the tendency to rain and
|storminess on and touching these
days, and prolong a state of cloudi-
ness beyond the normal limits Of
the period. Very warm, muggy
weather will prevail during these
disturbances, but a very probable
change to cooler will pass over the
country from west to east between
the 4th and 9TH. Pay no attention
to the man or newspaper who says,
clicks says it will be cool ALL the
time and everywhere from the 4th
to the 7th.'' What we say is, a
change to cooler will cross the
country from west to east during
these days, something like a rail
road train in transit; but train
long enough to cover the VIII ole dis
tauce from the Pacific to the At
lantic at the same moment, would be
anomalous, wouldn't it But
weather changes, to those who
learn how to look for them, like
railroad trains, have tracks and
schedules and whistles and head
lights, so that sane people may
watch, hear and see and ''stand
from under In a general way this
bit Of elaboration applies to all
kinds of phenomena at all the storm
periods and weather changes.
The SECOND storm period covers
the. 9Th to the 1th being central
on the 9th, the date Of full Moon.
Falling barometer, growing warmth
and increasing 'cloudiness and
humidity will mark the first days of
this period, progressively from
west to east, and from about the 9th
to 11th decided storm areas will
organize and pass eastward across
the county. Thunder storms, with
wind and rain, will strike many
localities during the progress of
these storm conditions. Another
change to rising barometer, wester-
ly winds, clearing and cooler will
lie between the disturbances and
the reactionary perturbations due
about the 14th and 18th. On these
dates look for marked change to
warmer. with falling barometer and
more rain, wind and thunder. On
and touching the 18th, as the Moon
passes over the equator from south
to north, thunder clouds, local rains
and much clustering will be most
natural, but we do not calculate that
general and copious rains will fall.
Slight rise of barometric pressure,
and change of wind to westerly and
cooler, will naturally come in be-
hind these reactiouary excitements.
A regular storm period is central
on the Goth, extending it's influence
from about the 18th to 2Srd, nor
mally. But we find that the Moon
is both new and in perigee on the
oath, which fact will greatly tend to |
increase and prolong very high tenn
very probably diverting |
actual storms from the period, 18th
TO 23rd, and drawing them forward
into the reactionary period central
On the 25th, Goth and 9th. One of
the warmest waves in. July may
reasonbly be counted on from about
Friday the oath to Monday the 9th.
On and touching the 9th, many
active electrical storms are more
than probable. Any careful OBJ
server may soon satisfy himself that
Increase in temperature, as rule,
tho conjunction of Sun,
Earth and moon, also that the pass
age Of the Moon over the celestial
squartor. brings increased warmth
and electrical disturbances. Hence
