WEEKLY WEATHER BULLETIN.
II Close Of Week Weather In Texas
Was Generally Fair.

Following Is summary OF the
weather conditions In Texas or the
week ending July 2, as prepared by
Section Director Bunneymeyer OF
Galveston:
The principal features OF the week
was the generally heavy showers and
thunderstorms that occurred through
out the central, eastern and coast
counties In the beginning OF the week
and terminated the prolonged drouth
that had become very serious In the
southeastern portion OF the state.
The depth OF rainfall over the eastern
half of Texas averaged about one
inch. Along the coast II ranged from
o.64 inch at Corpus Christi to 100
inches at Galveston. In the Interior
the rainfall was much heavier and In
many counties exceeded two and
three inches. The heaviest rainfall
was reported from Williamson coun-
ty with over four inches of precipi-
tation. Toward the northern portion
OF the state there was a decrease In
the amount of rainfall, and In the
counties constituting the Red River
valley there was either no rain or
the amount was too small to be meas
ured. In the northwestern counties
and in the Rio Grande valley the
amount Of rainfall was considerably
below the seasonal average and many
counties in these sections received no
rain.
The weekly temperature averaged
very nearly normal. In the western,
northwestern and extreme southern
counties it was slightly warmer than
usual, while in the central eastern
and southeastern counties it was eth
er normal or slightly below the nor
NAL. The numerous showers in the
beginning of the week resulted In
a temporary cooling of the atmos-
phere, and in general the heat during
the week was less trying than that
of the preceding week. The high
est temperatures recorded ranged
| from SO degrees at Corpus Chrtsti Z
| 1O4 degrees at BrownwoOd. and tn
lowest from Sc degrees at Amarfil
to 72 degrees at Galveston. At tn
close of the week the weather in Te,
as was generally fair, except in tn
Panhandle, where it was raining.
