H/6/1939-8-

April, this year, you might call the
"Hollywood" month, very temperamental,
the 9th, Easter Sunday, the mercury was 34°
with 1/3 of an inch of snow. The 10th,- Easter
Monday, the mercury jumped up to 78° and
the next day to 81°. Two days later, the 13th,
the mercury dropped to 32°. The 25th, mercury
reached 90°. The 26th, we had quite a thunder
storm & the remainder of the month was
cold & rainy, mercury in the low 40^s each
night.

May came in clear & crisp,
mercury 42°, but within a week the mercury
was up to the 90^s:- after the 10th however,
it dropped back into the 40^s each night for
another week & finally on the 31st, reached it's
maximum of 95° the highest so far this
season.
