Climate of California.

We have received meteorological tables of the weather, and thermometer at Monterey, Upper California, kept by Talbot H. Greene, a merchant at Monterey, during the space of a year, viz: from March, 1845, to February, 1846. From these tables a pretty good idea may be formed of the climate of California.

In March, 1845, the thermometer averaged 65 at noon. There was no rain, the sky being generally clear.

In April same degree of heat; five rainy days, four foggy, the others clear.

In May the thermometer at noon never rose higher than 64, and never fell lower than 58; weather clear.

In June the highest noonday heat was 73, the lowest 60; weather clear.

In July the highest heat at noon 72, lowest 60 and clear skies.

In August greatest heat at noon 72; lowest 63 and clear skies.

In September greatest heat at noon 73: lowest 61; clear skies; occasional fogs at eight in the morning; rain once only.

In October greatest heat at noon 70; lowest 50: fogs in the morning; days clear; rain three times within this month—a little rain in the night on two occasions.

In November greatest heat 76; lowest 60: weather generally clear; rains in the night occasionally.

In December greatest heat 66; lowest 57; clear weather; rain on four different nights this month.

In January, 1846, greatest heat 62; lowest 48: more rain in this month than the former months.

In February, 1846, average heat at noon 62; lowest 50; clear skies, and rain on three different nights.

A pretty general idea may be formed from this of the climate as to warmth. It appears to be remarkably mild and temperate. This is the result of the facts, not the conclusion of mere opinion.—New York Sun.
