It was the same old story in
Medina Valley-hot and dry-
with only 1.05 ins. of rain re-
corded for July.
Although a small amount,
this was more than the .40 re-
corded for that month in 1966.
The scarce moisture oc-
curred on July 1, .75, and July
28. .30.
Rainfall for the 7 months of
1967 is a mere 8.70 ins. This
is way behind the 15.95 ins.
recorded for the same period
in 1966.
