METEOROLOGICAL SUMMAllY FOR THE YEAR 1882. 



PREPARED BY PROF. F. H. SNOW, OF THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, AT 



LAWRENCE. 



The weather of 1882 abounded in superlatives. It had the highest ra'San 

 temperature, the highest maximum barometer, the smallest and best distrib- 

 uted rainfall, the coolest summer, the warmest autumn, and, with one 

 exception (1877), the warmest winter months upon our 15 years' record. Not- 

 withstanding the extremely small rainfall, crops of all kind were abundant, 

 in most cases surpassing all previous yields. This furnishes further confirma- 

 tion of the statement of our reports of 1871 and 1875, that a comparatively 

 small amount of rain, well distributed, is more desirable than a larger amount 

 unfavorably distributed.

Mean temperature of the year, 54.94°, which is 1.51° above the mean of 

 the 14 preceding yeare. The highest temperature was 105°, on September 

 12th ; the lowest was 6.5° below zero, on the 7th of December, giving a range 

 for the year of 111.5°. Mean at 7 a. m., 49.21°; at 2 p. m., 63.95°; at 9

Mean temperature of the winter months, 35.19°, which is 5.18° above the 

 average winter temperature, of the spring, 54.67°, which is .72° above the 

 average; of the summer, 72.92°, which is 3.69° below the average; of the 

 autumn, 56.97°, which is 3.81° above the average. 



The coldest month of the year was December, with mean temperature
