wEEki, WEATHER BULLETIN
TIE a,t-s:;a@. Temperature Duliug
the Meek was Normal

Following Is summary OF The
weather conditions In Texas for the
week ending April 10, as reported
BY Section Director Bnnnemeyer at
Galveston
Considerable cloudiness prevailed
during the entire week over all por-
tions of the state, but the rain fall
in general was below the average.
except in the northwestern division.
where ii was considerably above the
average. and In the extreme western
division, whore It averaged slightly
higher than the normal There was
no rainfall worthy of mention in the
coast counties, and the little that fell
occurred in the form Of mist and was
hardly measurable. The rain fall con-
dition for the week may be summed
up in the statement that there was a
gradual Increase in the amount of
precipitation from the coast north
ward and northwestward over the
state, eliminating in an excess OF
over one inch in the extreme north
western division. The deficiency in
the interior of the state and also in
the northwestern and eastern divis-
ions was, however, largely offset by
a fairly good distribution of the
showers, as from most portions of the
state from four to five rainy days are
reported The rain was very benefit
eial, and 1t is quite likely that, with
the general overcast sky. evaporation
was slow and that the greater part of
the moisture remained in the ground.
Average temperature during the
week was about normal and there
were no unusually high maxima nor
very low minima, which is probably
due to the great amount Of cloudi-
ness prevailing over the state. The
weekly mean temperatures reported
from the several divisions of the
state range from IS degrees at ANA
rillo in the northwestern division to
20 degrees at Corpus Christi on the
southwest coast. No unusual dis
turbances or phenomena are report
ed, and the week closed with dimin-
ishing cloudiness over the greater
portion of the state.
