TO BREAK RECORD
More Than 67 Inches Will Have
Fallen in Atlanta. Says Di
rector of .Local Station.
October, like every other month in
1912, except February, finished with a
big excess mark in its rainfall record,
and now it seems absolutely certain
that every rainfall record Atlanta has
ever had will be broken by December
31. During- the month Just ended 4.74
inches of rain fell, and the average
rainfall for October is 2.34 inches. The
total excess for the ten months already
passed in 1912 is 18.13 inches, which
means that 59.69 inches of rain have
fallen in ten months.
The average rainfall in twelvemonths
is 49 inches. The average rainfall for
November is 3.40 Inches, according to
Weather Man VonHerrmann, and 4.45
for November. If there is only ar.
average fall during the next two months
the total fall for the year will be more
than 67 inches. The greatest amount
of rain that ever fell in a single year on
Atlanta heretofore was 65 inches, and
that record has stood for a number of
years.
After the weather man got through
handing out statistics he bethought
himself of the present. The rain and
clouds will disappear tonight, he said,
and Saturday will be fair, but windy.
Sunday, he continued, should be fair
and decidedly chilly. The mercury will
descend to about 38. and though it will
rise again on tvlonaay, the warm weath
er will be practically at an end. Not
even Indian summer is expected to re
main, and Sunday morning there will
be a heavy, but not a klll'ing, frost.
