The table on pages 210 and 211, "Extremes of Heat and Cold," is
published by the San Diego Land and Farm Company, whose pamphlet says:
The United States records at San Diego Signal Station show that
in ten years there were but 120 days on which the mercury
passed 80 deg.. Of these 120 there were but 41 on which it passed
85 deg., but 22 when it passed 90 deg., but four over 95 deg., and only one
over 100 deg.; to wit, 101 deg., the highest ever recorded here. During
all this time there was not a day on which the mercury did not
fall to at least 70 deg. during the night, and there were but five
days on which it did not fall even lower. During the same ten
years there were but six days on which the mercury fell below
35 deg.. This low temperature comes only in extremely dry weather
in winter, and lasts but a few minutes, happening just before
sunrise. On two of these six days it fell to 32 deg. at daylight,
the lowest point ever registered here. The lowest mid-day
temperature is 52 deg., occurring only four times in these ten
years. From 65 deg. to 70 deg. is the average temperature of noonday
throughout the greater part of the year.
