M|LOER WEATHER
DUE HERE BY 1850
STATE FoREcASTER SAYS THAT
PALM BEACH TEMPERATURE
IS COMING FOR IOWA.

You, who have been saving your
round dollars for the time when you
may migrate to California, may find
| Callfornians coming to this locality as
| a winter resort, that is, If you do not
make your fortune too soon. For Iowa
is acquiring milder climate all OF the
| time and it is fact that figures snow
that the state is experiencing much
milder winters on the average than
quarter of a century ago.
| All this information is obtained from
an exhaustive resume prepared by G.
| A. Donnell who is Temporarily in charge
i of the state weather bureau at Des
Moines while Chief George M. Chappell
is recovering from bruises recently re-
ceived in a fall.
The figures include the average tenn
perature of every day Of the winter
season for the "a years since the local
weather bureau was established in 1873.
Four Of the five coolest winters on
history here occurred within the first
II years the weather bureau was in ex-
istence when the average temperature
was 221 During the last half of this
period temperature has creeped up to
26.5, an increase Of almost four and
one-half degrees.
At this rate Of increase, one fourth
of a degree annually, bathing should
be as popular in the Des Moines river
on Washington's birthday in 1850 as it
ever was at Palm Beach on that date.
Concerning the five months from No
vember to March as winter months in
this climate, Donnel has found the av-
erage temperature for each: November
36.S degrees. December 25.7; January
20; February 241 and March 1857 and
hence the grand average temperature
for winter 2S5. Considering only the
three months Of December, January
and February the average for the "a
years is 23.4.
Last winter was the second mildes
on record with an average tempera ture
of 1874 degrees, five degrees above nor
NAL. The mildest was in 1912 when
the average was 34.2, a departure Of
81. The three next mildest We're 'o7-'0S
with 1926, the following winter with
81. a and '06-'07 with 31.2. That was the
only time when there were three mild
winters in a row.
From 'S3 to 'SS there were five cold
winters in row. The coolest winter
was 'sO-'S1, just preceding the mildest.
when the average was IT.. The four
next coolest were '11'12 with 22.7, 92-
'93 with 2S.1, 'S7 with 24.1 and 1888
with 24.3.
