Maryland weather summary details a week of extreme heat peaking May 26 with temperatures in the 90s across multiple towns, followed by a drop to 42 at Baltimore. Rainfall was light, dryness widespread, and frosts anticipated in western regions. Crops report slow corn cutting, early potatoes fair, late potatoes poor, apples abundant but winter stock threatened, and general crop yields below expectations due to drought. Local county notes from Frederick, Adamstown, and Dorrow describe corn cutting underway, seeding continuing, wells drying, pastures short, and hot conditions with varied fruit ripening.
