Probable Weather for June, 1865. — The forecast for last month was justified 

 in every detail by events. We had rain, frost, and heat, as promised, and the month 

 closed with the summer thoroughly established. There is no doubt we have before 

 us a grand season. Rain has fallen already in sufficient quantity to carry all 

 established crops forward two months, and, in fact, for corn, grass, and all kinds of 

 fruits, we scarcely need rain again till the middle of July. Next month generally 

 very fine. From 1st to 10th variable, much heat, and occasional storms, wind S.W. 

 to S.E. 11th to 17th clear, bright, less heat, but a good average temperature, wind 

 S.E. to N.E. 18th to the end of the month changeable, but mostly bright and hot. 

 Showers, with thunder, probably eyery three or four days, and in the intervals 

 sunshine and much heat.
