Los Angeles temperature has reached 100° in May and 102° in October, 

 something the records do not show for Sacramento. The average summer 

 temperature at 4 a. m. for Sacramento is 60° — exactly the same as at Los 

 Angeles. The average summer temperature at 12 m. is 81° at Sacramento 

 and 79° at Los Angeles. The average temperature at 7 p. m. is 72° at Sac- 

 ramento and 66° at Los Angeles. This is an excellent showing for the 

 capital city. Although the last named place is warmer during the evening, 

 on an average, than Los Angeles, Sacramento is just as cool in the morn- 

 ing as is the southern metropolis. 



From these comparisons it is self evident that the Sacramento Valley, as 

 judged by the records at Sacramento and those at Los Angeles, is as pleas- 

 ant during the summer as at the latter city. 



The average rainfall for Sutter and Yuba Counties is twenty inches, 

 which is somewhat above Los Angeles, and very much above Riverside 

 and Colton. 



The average summer temperature at Colton is the same as at Marysville 

 (78°), while the average autumn temperature is 1° less at Colton than 

 Marysville. The highest temperature ever recorded at Colton was 116°, 

 and the lowest 20°, while at Marysville the highest temperature was 108° 

 and the lowest 20° — all railroad figures. 



This does not look as though the climate around Marysville was colder 

 in winter and hotter in summer than that of the country around Colton, 

 and as the latter is within a few miles of Riverside, the comparisons should 

 be somewhat similar, if a record for the same length of time could be 

 obtained from Riverside by railroad figures. Below will be found the time
