"There is not a single sign of relief, and the hot spell will continue for several days," said Local Forecast Officer S. S. Bassier yesterday.

"Last night I felt satisfied that thundershowers would strike here to-day, but they passed away from us and we were left. In the Ohio Valley and west to the Lower Missouri generally dry weather and continued high temperature prevails."

"In the South it is only ordinarily warm. Unsettled conditions now prevail over the Rocky Mountain region, while in this section and the Middle Mississippi Valley map indications seem to point to a continuance of solid heat."

"The barometer is highest over Canada, but that condition is too far distant to afford us any relief, and the weather will continue warm for several days."

"While it may not register over 100 degrees, it will be over 90, and that is bad enough, surely."

At 8 o'clock yesterday afternoon, when the Weather Bureau thermometers registered 97 degrees of heat, the humidity was 88 percent.

The temperature as recorded at the Weather Bureau yesterday was:
