writers of this yearly- affair had
predicted any such situation. .
For June from first to sixth, the
prediction was "Chilly with heavy

five days, it was to "'become war-

13th to 19th the prediction was
"much warmer,• rains return. •. •"
Right now and until next Wednes-

rains, cooler" and then it will turn
warm and fair until the end of
the month... Don't think they did
