The following maximum shade temperatures were recorded here on five consecutive days during last week :\u2013<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
November 28 \u2013 103.5 degrees.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
November 29 \u2013 107.3 degrees.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
November 30 \u2013 99.4 degrees.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
December 1 \u2013 108.0 degrees.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
December 2 \u2013 114.1 degrees.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
On examining the maximum temperatures for December during the past 37 years I find the following to be the most remarkable :<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
December 24, 1868 \u2013 113.0 degrees.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
December 15, 1876 \u2013 113.9 degrees.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
December 31, 1880 \u2013 112.8 degrees.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
December 26, 1866 \u2013 114.9 degrees.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
December 6, 1896 \u2013 115.4 degrees.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
December 2, 1899 \u2013 114.1 degrees.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
From comparison of the above figures it will be seen that although, the record to the 2nd instant was exceeded in 1896 and 1898, it is the first time for 37 years that the thermometer has attained to so high as 114.1 at so early a date as the 2nd of the month.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
