33 The Official Figure How the Past Summer Compared With Other Years. The dry period of the past summer began here on June 8 and conitnued at least until September 8. During this three months only 2.84 inches of rain fell. This is but 25 per cent of the normal amount. Nearly half of this fell in light showers of little benefit to vegetation. This is the smallest rainfall for 92 days at this time of year recorded at Lincoln; that is, in the past thirty two years. Form the same period there were 4.86 inches in 1881, 5.39 in 1901, 6.33 inches in 1886 and 9.86 inches in 1894. the normal is 11.33 inches. The temperature was high this last half of June and the first half of July , but the remarkable temperatures occured on July 13 to 17 - five very hot days with maximum temperatures of 102 to 109. then followed a week of moderate tempereature, after which the real heated period began. From July 26 to September 7 high temperature continued alomst without a break. The maximum temperature was 100 or over on twenty three of those forty-four days was ,and it was below 90 on only seven days. The mean daily temperature for these forty-four days was 83.5 degrees. The only hot period that compares with this occurred in 1901. This continued from June 21 to August 3 - for forty-four days. In this period the maximum temperature was 100 or over on twenty-five days and was below 90 on seven days. The daily mean temperature was 84.6 degrees. That is, the forty-four consecutive days of high temperature in 1901 were hotter than the forty-four days of the highest temperature in 1913. In 1901 the high temperatures occured in August and September, and were therefore more abnormal. The season of 1913, however, was the hottest on record here at Lincoln . The mean daily tempereature for June, July, Aguest adn the first seven days in September was 79.9 degrees, while for the same period in 1901 it was 78.6 degrees. The maximum temperatures were 100 or over on twenty-nine days in 1913 and on only twenty-five days in 1901. the rainfall in 1901 form June 8 to September 7 was 5.59 inches, or nearly twice that of 1913 for the same days.
