JUNE WEATHER
SOME COMPARISONS. Citizens who have been resident in Wellington for a considerable number of years stated that they could not remember the weather being so cold in the-month of June in past years as was the case last month. In order to ascertain the true position, inquiry was made of the Government meteorologist (Mr D. C. Bates), who furnished the following official information: The mean temperature for June was below the average on twenty out of thirty days, and for the whole month 2 per cent, below the June average of previous years. There were eleven Hosts during the past month, and the lowest reading on the grass was 19.5. In previous years for the month of June the lowest grass readings were1914, 22.4; 1915, 21.2; 1910, 23 01917, 24.0; 1918, 17.7 (equal to 14.3 degrees of frost); 1919, 18.5; 1920 18.0; 1921, 21.4. From the above figures it will bo seen that the coldest June was that of 1918, when 17.7 was registered on the grass, while June of 1919 and 1920 each had a lower temperature than last month.
