REMARKS 



The weather during July has been dry and cool. The rain- 

 fall during the month is only one-half inch less than normal but 

 due to a shortage of rain in April, May and June the effect has 

 been noticeable on most crops. The rainfall during the past 

 month was 3.83 inches, while the normal for July is 4.33 inches. 

 The total rainfall since January 1 is 21.06 inches and the normal 

 for this period is 25.22 inches. The rainfall up to April 1 was 

 slightly greater than normal so the deficiency has been accumu- 

 lated during the growing season. 



The mean temperature for the month was 68.9 degrees, 

 while the normal mean temperature for July is 70.6 degrees. 

 Nights have been very cool the mean minimum temperature 

 being 1.9 degrees lower than normal. The highest temperature 

 was 89 degrees on the 26th and the lowest, 46 on the 31st. The 

 normal maximum temperature for July is 93.9 degrees and the 

 normal minimum is 45.5 degrees. There was more than the 

 normal amount of sunshine, being 295.6 hours compared with a 

 normal of 267 hours. There were 14 days recorded as clear, 13 

 as fair and 4 as cloudy. The total wind movement was 3948 

 miles and the highest wind velocity was 28 miles per hour on the 

 1st and 11th. The prevailing wind direction was southwest. 

 The mean relative humidity was low, being 65.9 per cent.
