Chubbuck's Records |
The Boston weather bureau has ac- !
cepted the 97-year weather records Of
4 Y. Chubbuck Of Roxbury as giving
sufficiently authentic data previous to-
the establishment Of the government
station in 1871. Mr.. Chubbuck's rec
ords show that July. 1868. was the
wettest month since 1918. with a RAIN
fall of 1888 inches. From his records
il is ascertain that March Of the
present year was the driest in near
" a century, with not a drop OF
water.

Boston, Aug. 2.-Portions Of eastern
New England in July experienced the
nearest approach to deiuge, since the
government began making weather OBJ
servations in this section of the coun-
try, "A years ago, according to Off
cial reports received today. New rain
fall records were established at Port
land and Boston and the old mark was
all but equalled at Concord. N. H.
Farther back in the country the pre-
cipitation was not quite so heavy, bur
every government station in the dis
trict excepting Block Island, showed a
record at midnight Saturday of consid-
erably above the normal for the
month.
The absence Of excessive heat an
unusual number Of cloudy days and
the prevalence of fog on the coast.
were among the other meteorological
features of the month.
OF Material Benefit
AS New England in recent years has
suffered from droughts, the unusual
amount Of moisture during the last
81 days is expected to be of material
benefit to agriculture, especially if the
next six weeks are productive OF the
customary amount Of sunshine.
The month was hardly an hour old
before a rain storm poured nearly FIVE
inches Of rain on to New England, at
Concord and Boston.
A storm Of similar character follow
ed four days later and on July 9, a
third disturbance helped materially to
swell the months rain record. Since
then local showers with an unusual
amount Of easterly weather has main
tanned the high average.
Reports from Stations
The rainfall in inches for the month
at ten government stations, Albany,
being included in order to show the
weather in western New England was
as follows Portland, 1854: Concord, n.
H., 1024 Boston. S.S5: Greenville, Me-,
S.S4: Hartford, Conn, SOS; Providence.
s.35; Burlington. VT. 5.46; Mortified,
Vt, 5.22: Albany, sos: Eastport, Me-,
3.15; Block Island, r. l., 1.59. AS the
average July rainfall in all the sta
lions for past years is only a trifle
over 35 inches. it will be seen that
Block Island alone shows a deficiency.
The heaviest previous rainfall for
New England stations, including AL
bany, which have been taking obser-
vations for more than 80 years, was
as follows:
Hartford, 1886 inches in 1897: East
port. 9O7 inches in 1898; Block Island,
s.57 inches, in 1895; Concord, $50 in
ches in 1897: Burlington S.54 in 1887:
