SPRING, SUMMER, PALL. AND WINTER. 



COMPARATIVE TEMPERATURE TABLES FOR CALIFORNIA, OTHER POR- 

 TIONS OF THE UNITED STATES, AND EEALTH RESORTS IN 

 ' EUROPE AND MEXICO. 



The following interesting comparative temperature tallies show the mean 

 average temperature for Spring, .Summer. Fall, and Winter; also, the aver- 

 age yearly temperature, and the highest and lowest temperature at various 

 celebrated health resorts and other places of note in the United States. 

 Mexico, and Europe. It is quite remarkable that out of 63 stations in 

 various parts of the United States that gives the highest temperature, there 

 are 43 that have a maximum of lot) and over, going to show that there are 

 very few places in the United States but what have at times a very high tem- 

 perature, well up in the nineties, and very often over 100. In the column of 

 lowest temperature a dash thus (-) before a figure, indicates below zero. 

 It will be seen that 33 out of 63 stations (that show the lowest tempera- 

 ture) have a minimum below zero. Cities very much farther south than 

 Sacramento or Red Bluff show a very much lower temperature, as witness 

 Santa Fe. which has a temperature as low as 13 below zero; Aiken, South 

 Carolina, down to 3 above; Atlanta, Georgia, 3 above; Chattanooga, 3 

 above; Knoxville, Tennessee, 14 below zero; Prescott, Arizona, 18 below 

 zero; Jacksonville, Florida, 19; Jerusalem, the Holy City, 25 above. It 

 proves beyond a doubt that California can stand a comparison with places 

 very much farther south than in the Upper Sacramento Valley and central 

 part of the State. The columns of mean temperature for the different sea- 

 sons of the year are also valuable for ready reference, and proof of the 

 salubrity of the California climate. These tables are drawn from records 

 of many years (and not from one single year), making them very much 

 more valuable as reference tables:
