than usual in the west Gulf States, in extreme southern 

 California, and over the interior portions of the north Pacific 

 coast. In all other districts the week averaged warmer than 

 usual, being decidedly warm from the central Rocky Moun- 

 tain districts eastward over the central valleys and upper 

 Lake region. The excess in the Atlantic coast districts was 

 generally very slight. Very heavy rains fell in central and 

 north-eastern Texas, northern Louisiana, over the greater 

 part of Arkansas and western Tennessee and northern Missis- 

 sippi. Generally well-distributed rains occurred in portions 

 of the Missouri, Red River of the North, upper Mississippi 

 and Ohio valleys and Middle Atlantic States. Less than the 

 average amount generally fell throughout the South Atlantic 

 and east Gulf States, over most of the Lake region, and in 

 portions of the lower Ohio, central Mississippi and lower 

 Missouri valleys. 



Week ending August 11. — The week averaged cooler 

 than usual in the northern districts from the Rocky Moun- 

 tains eastward to the New England coast. The week also 

 averaged slightly cooler than usual on the central and south- 

 ern California coasts and on the west Gulf coast in the vicin- 

 ity of Galveston. Generally throughout the Southern States, 

 including the southern portion of the Middle Atlantic States 

 and the Ohio valley, the week averaged warmer than usual. 

 Heavy rains fell in Oklahoma, south-eastern Kansas, portions 

 of Missouri, Iowa, Illinois and Indiana, and over a large part 

 of the middle and south Atlantic coast districts. Over the 

 greater part of the Gulf States the rainfall was less than 

 average, and there was also less than usual over the greater 

 part of the Lake region and portions of the upper Missouri 

 and Mississippi valleys. 



Week ending August IS. — The week was decidedly cool 

 throughout the Plateau region and most of the Pacific coast, 

 and also from the Missouri valley eastward to the New Eng- 

 land and middle Atlantic coasts. Over the eastern Rocky 

 Mountain slope and throughout the Southern States the week 

 averaged warmer than usual. No appreciable amount of rain 

 fell in Texas, and only very light showers over limited areas 

 in Arkansas, Oklahoma, southern Kansas, south-western Mis- 

 souri, and portions of the central Gulf States and lower Lake
