Inspection of the table shows the modifying eftects of the Ocean,. 
Great Lakes, and Central Lakes on the temperature in general and 
especially in the daily range of temperature. Near these bodies 
of water the daily range is much less than in other parts of the 
State. The small daily range is brought about through the equaliz- 
ing effect of the water and through the comparative cloudiness of 
these regions. The shelter given by the surrounding hills helps also 
to render the valleys of the Central Lakes equable as to tempera- 
ture. 
The other general features which influence the position and trend 
of isothermal lines are: Latitude, altitude, and circulation of air. 
The difference between the daily range for May in the several 
fruit regions of the State is shown in Table V, the average being 
taken for all of the stations in each fruit region and for the ten- 
year period.
