and local disturbances, and therefore somewhat unevenly 

 distributed. In coast sections the amounts of rainfall ranged 

 from .30 to .GO of an inch, while in northwestern parts of 

 the State they, in numerous instances, exceeded an inch. 

 The temperatures dm-ing the time were near the seasonal 

 average, the maxima ranging in the 80s and the minima in 

 the 50s. From the 11th to the 18th there was generally 

 fair weather with abundant sunshine. There was little chauije 

 in the temperatures, although the general tendency was to 

 moderately cooler weather. The sunshine coming after a 

 rather prolonged season of cloudiness was very beneficial. 

 During the closing decade of the month the weather condi- 

 tions were characteristic of the season. The rainftiU was light, 

 the result of local storms and showers and therefore irreofu- 

 lar in distribution. While no marked rise occurred in the 

 temperatures over the State, the average for this period was 

 nearer the normal for the season than during the preceding 

 ten days. The local storms during June were less violent 

 than usual, and there was probably less damage from this 

 source than often occurs in this month. The month as a 

 whole was quite pleasant, but at the close the season was 

 generally considered to be a week or ten days later than the 

 average.
