May Rainfall
Ties 80 Mark
|0f 1859 Inches
Wettest Year Seen
As Two Inches Foil
Here on Week End

May, 1853, came down to the
wire in a dead heat with the
month of May, 1889, in the rain
fall sweepstakes, tying the 1862
inch record.
Mays downfall also made this
year a strong contender for the
dubious honor of becoming the
wettest year in recorded history.
So far this year 1887 inches
Of rain have fallen. During 1889,
the year the May record was set,
Washington had 30.54 inches of
rain by May 81.
Two inches Of rain recorded
during the holiday week ends
showers and thunderstorms pro-
vided the stretch drive needed
to draw alongside 1889.
And weather observers echoed
the weather remark made by ma
tives to visitors everywhere:
"It's highly unusual"
Sunshine Almost Daily.
Despite the record-equalling
rainfall, there was sunshine over
Washington at least a part of
every day except yesterday and
May 10.
Almost unbelievable, isn't
it?" a weather observer at the
National Airport commented.
Out of a possible 443 hours
and 80 minutes, the District had
218 hours and 10 minutes of
sunshine. This gave almost a
$3.50 break between sunshine
and clouds-with 49.2 per cent
sunshine and sos per cent
clouds.
This was due to the fact that
lot Of our rain was of the trop-
ical type-it would rain a while,
and then clear off," the observer
explained.
A reversal of the usual heat
and cold pattern brought the
weekend rain. meteorologists at
the National Airport said. Nor
mally, they pointed out, rain
falls here when cool air moves
in from the Southwest and hits
warm air in the Washington
area.
This time, cool air was
trapped" in the Washington
area. Warm air came in from
the Midwest-for example, it was
SO at Columbus, Ohio, the past
two days - and reversed the
Weather Bureaus forecast of
warm and fair weather for the
week end.
June Gets Moist Start.
June started out wet. too. A
drizzle was forecast for much Of
the day, with a high tempera-
ture Of IS. Tonight and tomor-
row, however, are expected to be
fair with moderate temperature.
At the airport this morning, the
murky weather caused pilots to
rely on instruments to take
planes in and out Of Washing
ton.
On "a days in May there was
rain or a trace of rain. Normal
ly, from 10 to 13 days of rainfall
can be expected in a given
month.
May set one record. Yester-
days thunderstorm was the 18th
Of the month-three more than
had been listed for any previous
month. Lightning yesterday
