Anchorage received a record breaking 5.16 inches Of rainfall, 1.79 inches of this total falling in 24 hours on the 3rd and 4th-a storm precipitation to be expected only about once in 20 years. Kenai reported a record breaking rainfall total of 6.87 inches. In the Matanuska Valley, Irving Newville recorded 4.24 inches; Ray Gather, 4.49 inches; Max Sherrod, 4.25 inches; and the Experiment Station Curtis Dearborn), 319 inches of rainfall for the month. Fairbanks record ed .72 inches precipitation for September, about three-fourths of the average precipitation for that month.

First freezing tem- perature in the Matanuska Valley was September 7, with the EX- pertinent Station recording the first freeze the 24th. Naptone, 70 miles east of Kenai, reported the first freezing temperature Sep tember 10th, 82 days after the last frost on June 20th. Although the first freezing temperatures in the fall at Fairbanks and College occurred on the 18th, scattered spots of light frost were reported on September 10th.
