There were at Chicago 21 rainy days during the month of May, 5 Or 6 days when it threatened rain and only 4 or 5 days of really good weather. The amount of rainfall was almost 7 inches. In this immediate vjcinity the record of rainy days was ■probably fully as bad, and the amount of rainfall was surely greatly in excess of what was recorded in Chicago. Probably 16 or 12 inches wuuld be nearer the right figure.
