Weather of August, 1910. 



The month was about the normal in temperature, and 

 much below the normal in rainfall. During the first ten 

 days no rain fell except light showers, generally less than 

 .1 inch in amount, on the 4th. On the 11th there were gen- 

 eral showers and thunderstorms, with rainfall in amounts 

 from A to .5 inch. On the 16th there were general light 

 showers, and on the 19th showers occurred throughout the 

 State, with amounts in the vicinity of ^2 inch. During the 

 remainder of the month there was no rain except light local 

 showers on the 26th and 29th. The average rainfall for the 

 month over the State was generally about 1 inch, against a 

 normal amount of about 4 inches. 



There were no high temperatures during the month, al- 

 though a somewhat high humidity on several dates with a 

 moderately high temperature made oppressive conditions. 

 The warmest periods of the month were from the 12th to 

 the 15th, with maximum temperatures between 82° and 

 90°, and from the 22d to the 26th, with nearly the same 

 temperatures. Except in these periods there were very few 

 days with temperature above 80°. The amount of sunshine 

 was somewhat above the average. The showers on the 11th 

 and 19th, while sufficient to moisten the surface of the 

 ground, were entirely inadequate to relieve the drought re- 

 sulting from the deficient rainfall of July and further in- 

 creased by the very small rainfall of August, There is great 

 need of soaking rains to properly saturate the ground.
