The weather for August was normal. The mean temperature was 

 68.95° with a precipitation of 3.98 inches. Although the weather 

 conditions were normal for the month, the serious summer drought 

 experienced by eastern and southern states carried into the early 

 part of August and was ended by heavy rains, wind storms, and hail 

 between the 10th and the 17th of the month. The storms were local- 

 ized and did a great deal of damage to the farm crops and buildings 

 in the areas affected.
