NO RAINY SEASON

Look in any Of the books available on
tie subject and you will find it stated
that Porto Rico has no rainy season. OF
course the books are right, there isn't
any rainy season.
But it may be we'll to note that rain
fall records shows that over a period of
years there is an increasing rainfall from
March to November, taking the island
as a whole, and from November to March
there is a sIackening in the frequency
and a0lount Of rain.
Just how mnch rain over how long a
period WouId be required to produce a
we'll developed and unmistakable rainy
season the books do not tell us. Like
every thing else rainfall is relative. But
with the daily dOWnpou.s, almost, of the
past few weeks, and the weather report
for last week showing that the procipita-
ton was almost four times the normal a
mount it may be we'll for purposes OF
conversation at least to call this our rainy
season and pray that it may end. OF
course the one saving word in the wealth
er report is normal" Last weeks rain
fall was four times the normal, which
ought to prove concjusiyely that this year
is exceptional and if this is our rainy sea
son normally we have rome. -Poto Rico
