Through the cooperation of the

on the Pacific Coast This is being
accomplished through the San Fran
cisco office of the Weather Bureau

The forecasts and warnings apply
to the Pacific Coast as for north as
Vancouver Island. and for the bene-
fit of aviation interests the region
to the westward of the crest of the
Rocky Mountains is divided into three
zones, for each of which a Flying

includes the prospective weather and
wind conditions for both tho surface

MARCH WEATHER
BELOW NORMAL
Past Month Also Noteworthy
for Long Dry Spell Pre-
valence of Winds.

For the fifth successive year the
month of March has been below
normal in temperature, according to
the Weather Bureaus meteorological
summary issued today The average
temperature of the month for "a pre-
vious years was 1875 degrees, as
against an average this year of 314
degrees. Last year the month had
mean of 30S; in 1920, BIG; in
1919, 1872, and in 1918, 276.
The highest temperature recorded
alrt1ng the month was as degrees, on
che 10Th. and the lowest, IA degrees,
on the 10Th. There were "a days
on which the mercury dropped to
freezing or lower, which is more
than the average number of days in
past years records.
Perhaps the most noteworthy fea-
ture of the weather of the month
was the long continued dry spell from
the 18th to the Goth, inclusive, or a
period OF II days. During this Pc
riod only a trace of precipitation oc-
curred-tan almost imperceptible fall
of snow on the morning of the goth
Only once in the five years since the
establishment of the local weather
office, according to Meteorologist NJ
B. Summers, has there been a longer
period without precipitation. This
was in 1920, from July 3 to 81, dur.
ing which period no measurable rain
fell. The record shows, also, that
only hundredth of an inch was
recorded in the following five days.
The snowfall of the month aggre-
gated 96 inches, which is inches
less than the March normal. The
winters snow cover disappeared on
the 25th, although the mountain
slopes were still moro or less covered
at the end of the month.
Another unusual feature was the
prevalence of steady northeasterly
winds for II days from the 18th to
the 23rd, inclusive While these
winds were not so strong as those
that characterized the preceding
month of February, they nevertheless

doubtedly considerably higher than
this. according to Mr.. Summers.
The record of the month as regards
cloudiness was also unusual, there
being 13 clear days and 81 per cent
