LOCAL CLIMATOLOGICAL DATA
ANNUAL SUMMARY WITH COMPARATIVE DATA, 1968
LAKE CHARLES, LOUISIANA
NARRATIVE CLIMATOLOGICAL SUMMARY
Lake Charles is on the lake by the same name. The Calcasieu River runs through the lake on its way to the Gulf of Mexico. The terrain around Lake Charles is flat and low, varying in elevation from near sea level to near 25 feet above sea level. A large percentage of the area is under cultivation. The rest is grazing land, timberland, and swamps. A large part of the world's supply of rice is raised in this vicinity and shipped from our international port. Due to the mild climate, deep sea transportation, and the presence of oil wells, a billion dollar oil and associated industry has developed here. Weather very rarely interferes with production.
The average annual temperature is in the high sixties, and varies from the low fifties in Janu ary to the low eighties in July. Days with maximum temperature above 100 F., or minimum below 32* F., are not very common. The average growing season is 272 days from the last freeze in the spring, about February 25, to the first freeze in the autumn about November 26.
Precipitation averages about 55 inches per year.
but has varied from 30 inches to 80 inches in different years. Dry spells are not uncommon the longest lasted 45 days. Precipitation is very heavy at times, especially during the passing of hurricanes. However, the greatest in 24 hours occurred in local thunderstorms and amounted to 16 inches in 8 hours. During one storm 22 inches fell in this area. Snow is rare, although 22 inches once fell during a storm.
Tornadoes are extremely rare. At times small funnel clouds are common. Some reach the ground or water as twisters or waterspouts, but cause little or no damage. The passing of cold fronts, even when accompanied by heavy thundershowers, may impede barge traffic by lowering water levels, since north winds drain the river and lake down the deep sea channel. A few light to moderate squall lines usually pass through the area during the year. Heavy flooding from the local Calcasieu River is rare. The flat terrain, lakes, and deep sea channel all act to prevent water from accumulating in depth.

Annual extremes have been exceeded at other locations as Follows: Highest temperature 104 in August 1931; lowest teaperaturn 12 In January 19481 aaxtaua monthly precipitation 21.45 In Hay 1907. Maxima precipitation in 24 hours 16.01 in June 1947; maxima monthly snowfall 5.0 in February 1960; maximum snowfall in 24 hours 5,0 in February 1960.

Belov-zero temperatures are preceded by a minus sign,
The prevailing direction for wind In the Normals, Means, and Extremes table Is from records through 1963.
Unless otherwise Indicated, dimensional units used In thle bulletin are: temperature In degrees P.; precipitation, including soovfsll, la Inches; wind movement in miles per hour; and relative bumldiry In percent. Degree day totals are the sums of the negative departures of average dally temperatures from 63* F. Sleet was Included In snowfall totals beginning with July 1943. Heavy fog reduce* visibility to 1/4 mile or leas.
Sky cover la expressed In a range of 0 for no clouds or obscuring phenomena to 10 (or complete sky cover. The number of clear days Is based on average cloudiness 0-3; partly cloudy daya 4-7; and cloudy daya B-10 tenths.
Solar radiation data are the averagesof direct and diffuse radlstlon on a horizontal surface. The langley denotes one gram calorie per square centimeter. Averages In the lower table for some months may be for more than the listed number of years.
a Figures Instead of letters In a direction column Indicate direction In tena of degree a from true North; Le., 09 -East, 18-South. 27-West, 36-North, and 00-Calm. Resultant wind is the vector sum of
wind directions and speeds divided by the number of observations. If figures appear In tbe direction column under "Fastest mUe" the corresponding speeds are fastest observed l-minute valuea.
