Norfolk , Nebraska , SEASON WILL EXCEED AVERAGE ANNUAL PRECIPITATION. YEARLY AVERAGE IS 22 INCHES * " - Record of This Year , Up to Date , IB 19.85 Inches The Year 1902 Holds the High Mark , But May bo Ex ceeded June Not so Wet. uesday's Dally. ] Whllo Juno has appeared to bo an unusually wet month , It Is the Inher itance of the months thnt have pre ceded It thnt have made It so , nnd with only the precipitation of the month there would hnvo been no OX- COSH of surface water on hand. The June precipitation this year , with only two days more to hear from was I ! . OH Inches , which , however , brings the total for the year almost up to the average. It wns the May rainfall of 9.88 Inches that did the business and with that of June has kept the ground In a constantly soaked condi tion nnd detrimental to the crops and the progress of other out door em ployment. .Some Interesting statistics have been given by the local station of the government weather nnd crop ser vice. It Is shown that the yearly pre cipitation averages 22 Inches , and that the total precipitation for the first six months of the year has near ly attained that average , the rainfall since January 1 , to date being 19.85 Inches. The last half of the year will assuredly bring It up high above the general yearly average. The rainfall for last year was 20.09 Inches , but the record rainfall wns In 1902 , jvhon 31.23 Inches was the showIng - Ing In 1898 the rainfall was light , the yearly precipitation coming be low fie average , the exact figure be ing IS. 88 Inches. The precipitation thus far this year has been as follows : January . 94 February . 72 March . 85 April . 3.83 May . 9.88 Juno , to date . 3.G3 Total 19.85 It is quite probable Hint there will bo several more Inches added to the record during the next couple of weeks and then some warm and dry weather may be experienced. Tills is the usual thing and It will he re quired to fini&h up the crops proper ly. In spite of the apparent excess of surface water at this time U may he noted that it Is gradually draining , nnd unless the early part of July conies on with an excessive rainfall the surface water will soon have rtis- appeaied and normal conditions fa vorable to the developing of crops will have been restored. There has been a lack in warmth , the temperature be- inn ; below normal , and another thing contributing to the backwardness of the crops has been the cloudy weath er. For weeks at a tlmo , this spring , the sun has been obscured by clouds , hut there are bright days coming and it may be that in another week the people who are now shivering and longing for a sight of the sun will be wishing for clouds and lower temper ature.
