REMARKS 



The weather during the month was, in general, seasonable 

 and rather pleasant for the time of year. The abscence of snow, 

 except for a few days, detracted somewhat from normal condi- 

 tions and the small amount of zero temperature was noticeable. 

 While the wind movement was rather large the number of gales 

 was small and they were of little intensity. Shifting winds were 

 more noticeable than usual and changes of the character of the 

 weather frequent. 



The records of the several weather elements show the follow- 

 ing features: The changes in barometric pressure were frequent 

 and of considerable amount. The mean barometer was rather 

 high and the maximum and minimum records considerably above 

 their respective normal. The rapid fall in pressure on the 14th 

 was especially noticeable. The range of pressure for the month 

 was about the usual amount. 



The mean .hourly temperature was a little higher than the 

 normal and the minimum temperature nearl}^ five degrees higher 

 than its average value for the month. The maximum temperature 

 was about normal. The temperatnre fell below zero on only two 

 days. 



The mean dew point and relative humidity were both prac- 

 tically normal. 



The amount of- precipitation was more than ten per cent be- 

 low the usual value and most of it occurred as rain. About one 

 half of the total occurred during the third week, from the ]4th 

 to the 18th. 



Only one snowstorm of any considerable amount occurred 

 and after a few days a rain storm and mild temperature prac- 

 tically bared the ground again. 



The amount of sunshine was somewhat more than nonnal, 

 ]jartially due to the additional day in the month.
