MARCH IS NOT
INDICATIVE OF
WHAT'SCOMING
This Months Temperature Abeye
6ormai-May Mean Spring
Weather TO be WARM

II March weather sa criterion
will be warm during April. May and
June But weather officials lay no
truth to the belief that March tenn
peratures predict what the follow
ing three months have in store, and
figures for the last few years also
go to disapproye this fable.
During this month, with the ex-
ception Of today, there was an ex-
cess OF i54 degrees, or about five
degrees daily. At this rate the tenn
peratures OF April, May and June
would be In excess of normal. In
1921 there was also a daily excess
of "a degrees for March. and dur
ing the next three months the TEN
peratures continued above normal.
Figures for other years in the
main, however, show that though
March may be above the average
the following three months fell be-
low normal In 1920, March was
40 degrees above, but April. May
and June combined fell So degrees
below.
In fact, all March months since
1915 were above the normal. There
was an excess Of As in Marcn.
1919, and a slight excess for the
following spring months. The
1915 were all below the normal,
however. despite the fact that
March Of each OF the years was
warm.
Another Of the weather proph =
cies in which the public holds faith,
but which the weather men dis
claim, is that when March comes in
like a lion it leaves like a lamb"
The past month has discredited this
belief, March having been ushered
in with snow, and is leaving the
same way. On March /, there was
2.7 inches of snow There was snow
on the ground this morning, the
last day of March
How TO Make Forecast.
According to temperature figures
taken at New Haven since 1878, the
entire spring has been warm or
cold, according to March weaths-.
Figures showed that in ~ years
when March has been warm or cold.
the spring has been normal and in
only eight of 139 years has the
spring weather been opposite Of
March.
On this basis, forecasts of spring
weather based On March proved
correct in SO per cent of the years.
In only six per cent we're they en-
tirely wrong and emitting the 13
indecisive cases, about 80 per cent
of the indications verify.
Forecast for tomorrow is gener-
ally fair and warmer. The pre-
c1pitation last night and yesterday
amounted to 50 of an inch.
