Utah Weather Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture Weather Bureau. Statewide Monthly Bulletin, 1891 September - 1896 December
Scope and Contents
This collection contains an incomplete record of meteorological data in Salt Lake City, Cedar City, and Corinne, Utah, from 1871 to 1900 and a complete record of statewide meteorological data from 1891 to 1896. These ledgers document temperature, humidity, storms, and fatal tragedies, such as lightning deaths, in the state. The data is compiled in eight books. For Salt Lake City, the ledgers contained meteorological data from January 1, 1877 to April 6, 1878; January 1882 to December 1885; May 22, 1880 to October 15, 1881; and October 1894 to May 1897. The records for Corinne were compiled from April 21, 1872 to November 22, 1873. Fort Duchesne's records date from December 1877 to May 1891. Finally, the ledger containing the statewide records provides complete data from September 1891 to December 1896. Some of the pages are very fragile. Additionally, the ink has smeared on some pages, making them unreadable. Ledger five has a frail binding and some loose pages.
