TRANSACTIONS OF THE 



Highest, Lowest, and Average Temperature, with Prevailing Wind. 



The following table shows the highest, lowest, and average yearly tem- 

 perature, along with the prevailing direction of wind, for each year. This 

 data is from the records of Dr. Thomas M. Logan, the Railroad Company, 

 Mr. Samuel H. Gerrish, and the records of the United States Signal Office. 

 The records cover a period of thirty-four years. It shows that a very low 

 temperature is never recorded at this point. Often several years will 

 intervene without the temperature falling to the freezing point. The low- 

 est recorded temperature is 19°, in 1854, and the highest 106°, in 1870, 

 while the prevailing direction of wind for the year is usually from the 

 south: 



Highest temperature in 34 years, 108° — in 1870. 

 Lowest temperature in 34 years, 19° — in 1854. 

 Average annual temperature for 34 years, 60.2°. 

 General prevailing direction of wind — from the south.
