“Abnormal” As Usual
SUVA, Sept. 26.
SUVA’S “abnormal season” in 1949 — most people would say that Suva’s seasons always are abnormal—con tinues to produce rainfall figures that passed the silly stage long ago. Sep tember’s rainfall is close to 20 in. hav ing beaten the previous September re cord in the third week, and the year’s total to date is about 178 in., with more coming down at the time of writing. The previous record for a full year was 170.74 in. in 1921. The only record not broken by the first nine months of 1949 is that for 12 consecutive months. Between June, 1938, and May, 1939, the rainfall was 212.13 in.
