The lovrest temperatures of <br />the month at the other stations were generally observed <br />en the same date." <br /> <br />"The precipitation was much in excess of the norme.l, <br />except near the headwaters of the Arkansas and in the <br />various parks, where the fall was light. In the north- <br />western part of the StRte the fall at many stations <br />was greater than any previously observed in any month, <br />while near the Kansas border there was exoessive rain, <br />the average for the extreme eastern. counties exceeding <br />four inches. Aside from light showers on the 3d, the <br />entire precipitation for the month came during; the re- <br />markable storm that began on the 16th and continued, <br />in localities, for nearly a week. In the more elevated <br />parts of the state the precipitation during this storm <br />'lmS in the form of heavy, wet snow, but over the plains <br />re~ion it vms in the form of rain, which fell in exces- <br />sive amounts on the 19th. Twenty-four-hour falls exceed- <br />ing four inches were noted at sever~l stations, with the <br />extreme of 5.95 inches at Eads, in KioV/a oounty. This <br />excessi ve ra.in caused a violent flood in the lower Ark- <br />ansas, .rith resulting loss of life and property. II <br /> <br />"The sunshine during the month was less than the <br />usual high Rverage for October. Altho high wind was <br />general over the plains region at the beginning of the <br />month, the total wind movement was but little above the <br />normal. II <br /> <br />"TEMPERATURE." <br /> <br />"The monthly means, as determined from the reports <br />of 72 stations, was 43.10 , or 2.90 below the normal. <br />The mean for October, 1907, was 49.10. The highest <br />monthly mean was 54.90, at Lamar, and the 10\V6st, 23.80 , <br />at Corona. 'rhe extreme maximum, ,*,0, was observed at <br />Lamar on the 16th, and the extreme minimum, 150 below <br />zero, at Steamboat Springs on the 23d.
