Temperature and Rainfall foe the Whole Country. 



[From United States National Weekly Weather Bulletin.] 



Weeh ending July 5. — Generally high temperatures con- 

 tinued, as during the preceding week, over nearly all districts, 

 until near the end of the week, when a decided change to 

 cooler weather set in over the northwest, and during the 

 remaining days of the week overspread all districts from 

 the Rocky Mountains eastward. The mean temperature for 

 the week was above normal in all districts, except from the 

 upper Ohio Valley and Lake region northeastward to New 

 England, over scattered areas in the Southern States and on 

 the Pacific coast. The precipitation during the week was 

 confined generally to local showers occurring in connection 

 with thunderstorms. Some localities received phenominally 

 heavy amounts, while adjoining districts had but light 

 showers. As a rule, the precipitation was below the average 

 over most of the districts east of the Mississippi River, 

 especially over the Ohio valley, Middle Atlantic States and 

 northern portion of the Gulf States.
