[From the United States Climate and Crop Bulletins.] 



Week ending July 1. — The week was excessively warm 

 throughout the central valleys, Lake region. New England 

 and middle Atlantic States, and over the northern portion 

 of the Gulf States. In California the week was also warmer 

 than usual. Along the south Atlantic and Gulf coasts the 

 temperature conditions were nearly normal, and over the 

 middle and northern Plateau regions and the north Pacific 

 coast the week was decidedly cool. The maximum tempera- 

 tures of the week were unusually high in the central valleys, 

 Lake region and New England, where many stations re- 

 ported the highest yet recorded for the last decade of June. 

 Heavy rains fell over the greater part of the upper Lake 

 region, including portions of the upper Mississippi and Ohio 

 valleys, and more than the usual amount occurred over 

 limited areas in the Gulf and south Atlantic States. Over 

 much the larger part of the country, however, the week was 

 very dry. 



Week ending July 8. — The week was excessively warm 

 throughout the central valleys. Lake region and the middle 

 Atlantic coast districts, with temperatures averaging above 

 the normal in the Gulf States and over the Eastern Rocky 

 Mountain slope and eastern portion of the Plateau region. 

 The excess of temperature was most marked in the middle 

 Atlantic States and lower Missouri valley, where the records 

 for the first decade of July were broken at many stations. 

 In southern Florida and on the immediate coast of South 

 Carolina and Georgia and southern Maine there was a slight 

 deficiency in temperature, and the week averaged cooler than 

 usual in all districts on the Pacific coast. Heavy rains fell 

 in portions of the middle Atlantic States and New England, 

 Lake region, Minnesota, North Dakota, eastern Montana,
