REPORT OF THE WEATHER TO JUNE 20. 

 The mean temperature of the first ten days of 

 June was below average, excepting in Algoma 

 and in districts lying near the Georgian Bay 

 and Lake Huron, where there was a mean posi- 

 tive departure of 1.5 to 2.5 degrees. The nega- 

 tive departures, which were the more wide- 

 spread, prevailed from the southwestern coun- 

 ties northward and eastward along Lakes Erie 

 and Ontario to the Ottawa and St. Lawrence 

 valleys, being most pronounced (two or three 

 degrees) between Ottawa and Montreal and 

 near Toronto. During the second ten days 

 Algoma alone showed a positive departure, all 

 the remainder of the province being- below 

 average by amounts ranging from about two 

 degrees near Lake Ontario to half a degree in 

 the Ottawa valley and near the Georgian Bay, 

 "While very few June reports have been re- 

 ceived to date, it is probably approximately true 

 that the rainfall of the 20 days has been exces- 

 sive in nearly all parts of the province, except- 

 ing the Ottawa valley, where it was just aver- 

 age, and in most counties of southwestern On- 

 tario and immediately to the east of Lake 

 Huron, where there has been a considerable de- 

 ficiency. — (R. F. Stupart, Director Dominion 

 Meteorological Service.
