APRIL BELOW NORMAL IN
TEMPERATURE AND RAIN
By H. P. Parker, meteorologist U. S.
Weather Bureau, Airport, Bellefonte, Pa.
The weather of April was about
five degrees below normal with re-
spect to temperature and the total
precipitation was less than one-third
of the normal.
The mean monthly temperature
was 45 degrees, the mean maximum
57.5 dgrees and the mean minimum
32.6 degrees. The highest tempera-
ture was 77 degrees on the 22nd and
the lowest 20 degrees on the 4th,
making a monthly range of 57 de-
grees, The greatest daily range was
46 degrees on the 20th and the least
was 3 degrees on the 9th. The mean
daily range was 24.9 degrees and the
mean daily change from day to day
was 6.1 degrees. There were 16 days
with a temperature of 32 degrees or
lower. The 13th was the coldest day
with a mean temperature of 30 de-
grees and the 30th, with a mean
temperature of 63 degrees was the
warmest.
The total precipitation was 1.15
inches and the greatest amount in
24 hours was 0.69 inch on the 9th,
There were 9 days with 0.01 inch or
more of precipitation, 2 days with
0.01 inch or more of melted snow
and 6 days with a trace or more of
snow. The total depth of snow for
the month was 0.6 inch.
The mean cloudiness was about
62¢; of the possible. There were 9
clear days, 6 partly cloudy and 15
cloudy. The prevailing wind was
from the west and the strongest
wind was 34 miles per hour from
the southwest on the 3rd. On all
other days the wind was less than
32 miles per hour.
The monthly mean temperature
for 12 years of record for April in
Bellefonte,—1901 to 1912 inclusive,—
is 50.9 degrees. This is 4.3 degrees
higher than the average of 4 years
of record at the Airport. During the
4 years of record at the present lo-
cation of the Weather Bureau sta-
tion, the highest temperature re-
corded in April is 84 degrees on the
7th in 1929 and the lowest is 20 de-
grees on the 4th in 1932. Past rec-
ords for State College show a tem-
perature of 90 degrees in April, 1915
and again in 1925, 88 degrees in
1896, 86 in 1921, and 85 in 1888 and
1902. ‘The lowest temperature of
record for April at State College is
1 degree above zero in 1923. During
16 other years,—within the period
1888 to 1927 inclusive,—the mini-
mum temperature reached 20 deg.
or less in April, but of all these the
lowest was 15 degrees, No records
of high and low temperatures in
Bellefonte are available.
The warmest April of record at
State College was in 1915 with a
mean temperature of 54.3 degrees
and the next warmest was in 192i,
with a mean temperature of 53.6.
The coldest April at State College
was in 1907 with a mean tempera-
ture of 41.6. The warmest April at
Centre Hall was in 1915 with a
mean of 57.1 and the coldest was in
1927, with a mean temperature of 42.9
degrees. However, the data for the
years 1901, 1902, 1907 and 1916 are
missing from the records for Centre!
Hall and it is probable that April,
1907, was colder. A ten to eleven
year cycle is noticeable in the tem-
perature record for State College
and to a lesser degree in that for
Centre Hall, due probably to sun-
spot maximum and minimum. Note
the following temperature data for
April at State College;
1899-50.9, 1910-51.3, 1921-53.6 and
1929-51.2 degrees. These data are, on
an average, ten years apart. The
minimum points of the cycle are ap-
proximately as follows: 1893-45.5,
1904-42.5, 1014-456 and 1924-443
degrees. If this cycle is true and
holds good for the future we are
approaching the minimum point
again and April 1933 or 1934 may
be colder than the past month, but
we shall wait and see,—or feel it!
Let's not worry about it,
The joint average of 12 years rec-
ord of precipitation for Bellefonte,
1901-1912 inclusive, and 7 years rec-
ord at the Western Penitentiary
from 1916 to 1923, is 4.01 inches for
April. At Fleming the average pre-
cipitation in April for the years
1859 to 1867 inclusive was 4.20
inches. The average of 44 years rec-
ord of precipitation at State Col-
lege;—1888 to 1831 inclusive, —is 3.52
inches. The records for State Col-
lege are the more dependable because
of continuity and duration, but it
must not be inferred that the
nt of ipitation :
amou precipita at or rskr | Stuart, were called to Pittsburgh,
Bellefonte is the same. Differences
