BROKE TWO RAIN RECORDS
More Precipitation Produced in One Hour
Than Ever Before in Same Month.

On the 18th July couldn't stand 1t
any longer and went On a record
spree.
1t soaked itself in one party with
3.37 inches 81 rain. almost as much
as Is usually recorded during the
entire month. In the one hour and
twenty minute period from 4:4O
p. m. to 6 p. m. that day, 800 inches
were precipitated, another new rec
ord. And in one hour of that time,
another long-standing record was
ruined, 2.79 inches being the new
mark.
Record Rain for Hour
The extent of July's dissipation
on this occasion was recorded auto
matically and proves that the month
produced more rain in one hour
than any other July since the
Weather Bureau was started.
July, however. was not lavish
with heat. 1t brought down the
average slightly. that being 76.s
and the mean for this July, 1855.
Temperament was so marked in
July's conduct that his closest OBJ
servers. those at the Weather Blu
reau, scarcely could tell what II
would do next. Forecasts for even
one day ahead were extremely un-
certain.
