Weather Record Shows Umatila
County's Splendid Climate


The precipitation Is heaviest dur
ing the winter months, but there is
a secondary maximum during May
and June. This secondary period of
great rainfall Is a very important
feature as 1t is the time of year when
vegetation Is making its early growth
and requires more moisture than is
the case later In tne season. Only
SIX per cent Of the total amount falls
during July and August and these
months constitute the driest season OF
the year. II sometimes happens that
not enough moisture falls during one
or the other Of these months to make
mark on the rain gauge which rec
ords amounts as small as one one
hundredth of an inch.
AS already stated the prevailing
winds are westerly with a shifting OF
few points to the south in winter
and to the north in summer. Fog is
almost unknown and the relative hu-
midity is seldom high. The average
humidity for Umatilla county Is about
81 per cent while the wind velocity
throughout the year is nearly con-
slant and Is estimated at six niles per
hour.
The Umatilla river, on whose banks
the city of Pendleton stands, Is the
principal stream of Umatilla county.
1t rises In the western slopes of the
Blue Mountains and flows in west
erly and northerly direction TO the
junction with the Columbia river al
the town of Umatilla. Its drainage
area is timberless. except on the
mountain slopes, and is composed OF
rolling table lands devoted principally
to the prod, ction of wheat. The wa
ters of this stream are used for both
power and irrigation purposes and II
Is one of the most important rivers
in the state.

impart their warmth to this cool
lower air In the alleys. During the
cold season the Foehn or Chinook"
winds not lnfrequently descend along
the mountain slopes and cause short
spells OF abnormally high tempera-
lures These winds rapidly melt the
snow ana the air feels warm and
spring-like when they blow.
Government records of temperature
and rainfall are available from only
three Umatilla towns. These are
Pendleton. Umatilla and Weston.
These records show the average an
nual temperature for each of the three
places in the order named to be 51s,
SAL and 494. The highest temper
ature ever recorded in the county
was llg degrees. This mark was
made in Pendleton August 10, 1898
and while this degree of tempera-
ture may seem appalling to eastern
ers II is sufficient to say that not n
single sunstroke was experienced In
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1913-09-12

dleton Is ZIG degrees while the aver
age for January is 33.9. The average
for the other ten months are as fol-
lows:
February, 372: March. 44.2; April,
51,6; May, 57.s; June. 64.2; August,
704; September, Gil; October,
514; November, 4S.O: December. 36 6.
Long Growing Season.
The growing season throughout the
greater part of Umatilla county is
unusually long. being more than 20U
days. owing to the dryness of the air
frost does not always form with tenn
peratures as low as the freezing poin;
or even four or five degrees below
that mark and the tenderest varieties
of vegetation are seldom If ever seri-
ously injured by low summer tenn
peratures. During recent years fruit
growing has come to be one of the
principal industries of the county and
total failures of crops are unknown.
Indeed by making use of the frost
warnings issued by the weather bu-
reau and the smudge pot there is no
longer any excuse for the Umatilla
county grower of fruit losing any part
of his crop by the frost route. II ne
does lose 1t he can attribute the loss
to his own negligence.
The average date of the last kill
ing frost In the spring is May s while
the average date Of the first killing
frost in the autumn is october S. The
latest killing frost ever known was
June "a while the earliest fall frost
known occurred September 6.
Rainfall Is Sufficient.
The annual rainfall in the county
ranges from S.43 inches at the town
of Umatilla to 2467 inches at Weston.
The average rainfall in Pendleton is
14.0S inches. While II Is necessary
to supplement this precipitation In
the eastern part Of the county. with
irrigation, II Is sufficient to produce
phenomenally large crops of wheat
and barley throughout large part OF
the county's area. Yields OF 40 to SO
bushels OF wheat TO the acre are very
common while yields OF so bushels are
| not unknown. The average wheat
crop Is estimated at 5000, 900 bushels
or one per cent Of the nations crop.
The largest crop ever harvested was
in 1907 when 1000, 900 bushels were
produced.
There are those who claim that the
spread Of irrigation in the west end
OF the county will tend to increase the
annual rainfall throughout the re-
mainder OF the county inasmuch as
the prevailing winds are from the
west Indeed the records of the To-
cal observer during the past few
years seem TO bear out these con-
tentions.
