REMARKS --- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Unless otherwise noted, all 1889 data are from observations taken at the Ft. Snelling post hospital station. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Average monthly maximum, average monthly minimum and average monthly temperatures are from self-registering |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
maximum-minimum thermometers. So far as can be determined these instruments were read and re-set |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
at about 0700 hours each day. SO FAR AS CAN BE DETERMINED, NO FIXED TIME (0700, 1400 AND 2100 HOURS) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
OBSERVATIONS WERE TAKEN AT THE FT. SNELLING STATION DURING 1889. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
No precipitation was recorded at the Ft. Snelling station during October 1889. Contextual evidence indicates, however, |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
that trace amounts of precipitation fell on several days during that month. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Extreme maxima and extreme minima are readings from the station's self-registering thermometers. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
NONE OF THE FOREGOING AVERAGE TEMPERATURE VALUES HAVE BEEN ADJUSTED TO THE STANDARD |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
NWS 2400 - 2400 HOUR OBSERVATION DAY. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
SO FAR AS CAN BE DETERMINED, NO SKY COVER RECORDS WERE KEPT AT THE FT. SNELLING STATION |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
AT ANY TIME DURING 1889. Lowest 1889 temperature (-29 F) was recorded on 23 February. Highest temperature |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(100 F) was recorded on 7 July. Greatest daily precipitation (1.74 inches) was recorded on 20 August. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Daily minima of 30 F on 22 May, 33 F on 29 May, 37 F on 4 June, 23 F on 6 October. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
