REMARKS 



The outstanding features of the June weather were an execs 

 sive amount of rain and lack of sunsliine. The total precipitation dur- 

 ing the month was 5.72 inches, the normal being 3.54 inches. This is 

 the greatest amount of rain for June since 1928 when 6.97 inches 

 fell and in 1922 when 9.68 inches fell. Rain in excess of .01 inch 

 fell on 16 days, the normal number of days of rain in June being 10. 

 Traces of rain fell on two additional days. The total precipitation 

 since January 1 is now 26.83 inches, the normal for this period being 

 20.89 inches. There were only 169 hours of bright sunshine as com- 

 pared to a normal of 257.4 hours. 



The mean temperature for the month was 66.9 degrees, the 

 normal being 65.4 degrees. The highest temperature for the month 

 was 92 degrees on the first; the lowest was 49 degrees on the l6th 

 There was less wind than normal, with a total wind travel of 2896 

 miles compared to a normal of 3584 miles. 



Dr. }. K. Shaw reports as follows on the effect of the weather 

 on the fruit crop: "The excessive precipitation and the high humidity 

 which prevailed during the month have resulted in much apple scab 

 on susceptible varieties and brown rot in cherries which are ripening 

 as the month closes. Weather during bloom was not very favorable 

 for blossom fertilization and the set of Mcintosh was only fair. The 

 plentiful water supply has favored vigorous growth but is likely to 

 cause root killing in orchards located in poorly drained soils. The 

 strawberry crop has been good but with some loss from rot. The 

 flavor of fruits thus far harvested seems a little inferior, a common 

 result of so much cloudy, rainy weather."
