And the grass in pastures and meadows, grew like in the exuberance of the springtime. Sunshine was freely on tap for all who wanted it, and just half of the days were recorded as clear, 8 as partly clear and only 7 as as wholly cloudy. And even the cloudiest days mostly had a few rifts of sunshine breaking through the clouds. Still it was neither so warm nor so sunny as September of last year. There was more rain than actually needed, namely 3.65 inches. It came in seven different storms, on the largest of which, oa the 26th, there was 90 of an inch.
