TRANSACTIONS OF THE 



Table 3 — Showing the Average Temperature and Rainfall for the 



San Joaquin Valley Counties. 



The following named counties are represented in Table 3: San Joaquin, 

 Merced, Fresno, Tulare, and Kern. The lowest temperature below 20° was 

 recorded in the following named counties: Fresno, Tulare, and Kern. 

 The lowest being for each county named above, as follows: 15°, 10°, 16°, 

 respectively. Taking elevation in consideration, the southern end of the 

 San Joaquin Valley is much colder than any portion of the Sacramento 

 Valley. For instance, Auburn, in Placer County, Sacramento Valley, at 

 an elevation of 1,363 feet, has a minimum record of but 18°, while Delano, 

 only 319 feet, has a minimum record of 16°, or two (2°) below Auburn. This 

 Table No. 3, compared with Table No. 2, will convince the wayfarer, 

 though a stranger, that he must come north to the Sacramento Valley to 

 find a more equable climate, unless he decides to cross into Santa Barbara 

 or Los Angeles Counties and winter there; even then the great Sacra- 

 mento Valley will compare favorably with those counties in a great many 

 respects. The mean annual temperature of Los Angeles and Santa Bar- 

 bara are the same as Sacramento, but the average Winter temperature of 

 the two former places are much milder than that of Sacramento City.
