JVeek ending June 20. — The week averaged warmer 

 than usual in the upper Missouri valley and over most of 

 the Plateau and Pacific coast States. Nearly normal con- 

 ditions prevailed over the middle Rocky Mountain slopes 

 and the northern portions of the Lake region and Gulf 

 States and in eastern Maine. Elsewhere the week was 

 cooler than usual, the deficiency ranging from 3° to 6° per 

 day from southern New Englaind to Florida. Heavy rains 

 occurred over a comparatively narrow area, extending from 

 central Kansas and south-eastern Nebraska through Missouri 

 and the southern portions of Illinois, Indiana and Ohio. 

 Elsewhere, except in local areas, the weekly precipitation 

 was below the average, only light showers occurring in the 

 Lake region and Middle Atlantic States, while over a large 

 part of the southern States and throughout the Plateau dis- 

 tricts and California there was total absence of i-ain. 



Week ending June 27. — The week was warmer than 

 usual in New England and portions of the lower Lake region 

 and Middle Atlantic States and over the interior of the east 

 Gulf States and lower Ohio valley, but the excess was very 

 slight except in south New England. In the South Atlantic 

 States and over much of the Lake region the temperature 

 averaged nearly normal, but from the Mississippi valley 

 westward to the Pacific coast the week was cooler than 

 usual. From the west Gulf coast and Rio Grande valley 

 northward to and including the lower Missouri valley, and 

 also in Minnesota and portions of the Dakotas and Wiscon- 

 sin, the rainfall was generally in excess of the average. 

 East of the Mississippi River the rainfall, as a whole, was 

 largely deficient, although numerous small areas received 

 more than the average.
