CLIMATOLOGICAL TABLES
CONDENSED CLIMATOLOGICAL SUMMARY
Y
z
--
In the following table are given for the various sections of the climatological service of the Weather Bureau the monthly average temperatmure and total rainfall; the stations reporting the highest and lowest temperatures, with dates of occurrence; the stations reporting the greatest and least total precipitation; and other dat,a as indicated by
the several headings. The mean temperature for each section, the highest and low-est temperatures, the average precipitation, and the greatest and least monthly amounts are found by using all trustworthy records available. The mean departures from normal temperatures and precipitation are based only on records from stations that have 10 or more years of observations. Of course, the number of such records is smaller than the total number of
stations. TABLE 1.-Condensed climalological summary of temperature and precipitation by sections, August 19%
