PAGE TWO NOBODY KNOWS A good many Key Westers have been asserting that we may have a hurricane this season because of the heavy rains this month, But, and you have the assurance of p R. L. Frost, meteorologist in charge of the $ dispatches ey Weather Bureau in Key West, and Sam qin this paper @n4 | Goldsmith, his assistant, who’ has been 7 = | charting hurricanes for 30 years, that no type of weather is a basis for determining foo | whether or not we will have a hurricane 5 | during what is called “hurricane months.” Mr. Frost has assembled considerable data to show that hurricanes are likely to resptations | occur or not to occur, regardless of what the immediately preceding weather may abicn & f ‘ine. be. For instance, July, 1916, had the great- ae dussion f geal est rainfall during that month in the his- Soimunteations e“* tory of the local Weather Bureau, which goes back to 1870. The rainfall was 10.89 inches, and no hurricane was reported .in this area during 1916. It .appeared when the bureau made its report yesterday. for the rainfall this month that the July record will be broken before the end of this month. It stood at 10.85 inches, only four one-hundredths of an inch below the record. But don’t con- clude that the heavy rainfall is an indica- tion that we won’t have a hufricane this year. The records show several instances to disprove that conclusion, the most out- standing of which was in 1935, when 10.08 inches of rain fell in July, and that «was the year when the devastating hurricane struck the Matecumbes. And a light rainfall means nothing, so far as hurricanes are concerned. From June to October, inclusive, in 1925, rainfall was under normal every month, as much as 8.72 in June, and no hurricane occurred jin this area during that year. But rainfall was under normal in 1944, with a deficiency of 2.90 in June, and sevoral hurricanes were reported in this area that year, one of which, on October 18, passed 40 miles west of Key West. And don’t think that summer tempera- ture has anything to do with the coming of a hurricane. In 1925, when we had no hurricane, the temperature went above normal every month from June to October, and in 1944, when hurricanes occurred in this area, the temperature was above normal every month, except in October, when a hurricane passed near here.
