Show RAINFALL RECORDS ' FOR MAY BROKEN; 3.03 INCHES FALL -- Whatever misguided conception some Salt Lakers might have that May the festive Maytlme is the month for straw hats snd gambols upon the downy green, should be harshly aquelched with the announcement an-nouncement today that during the month ao far. more rain haa fallen than ever before in May. ... The average rainfall nf an Inch nnd three-quarters for the month has been almost doubled, with a total wetness registered today of 3.03 inches of water. "May," according to A. H. Thieaaen, section director of the local of floe, "is the last month of the rainy season. The April showers show-ers and May flowers line is a month ahead of reality. Not until the latter part of June does the precipitation practically stop and the dry season begin." However (this is for the pessimists), pessi-mists), it will be fair tonight and tomorrow. Temperatures recorded today, although al-though higher than those of yesterday, yes-terday, are still slightly below normal. |
