REMARKS 



The weather during the month was marked by unusual high 

 winds and large fluctuations in barometric pressure. The num- 

 ber of gales was large and a few exceeded fifty miles per hour. 

 The wind was less variable than usual in direction, much the 

 greater part coming from the west or points of compass nearly 

 west.- 



Except for the general absence of snow the weather was 

 seasonable. The amount of snow was small and only a few days 

 of sleighing were recorded. 



The following were the more important features of the 

 records of the several weather elements. Tne mean pressure 

 was low fo ■ the time o'" year and the range of pressure unusually 

 large. This was largely due to the very low reading of the 25th. 



The mean temperature was three degrees higher than normal 

 and the range for the month about the usual amount. The 

 temperature fell below zero on only a single date and then only 

 for a few hours. The last third of the month was the coldest. 



The mean dew-point was nearly three degrees higher than 

 usual and the relative humidity nearly normal. 



The total precipitation was about sixty percent of the normal 

 and much the larger part occurred as rain. The snowstorms were 

 all light, the largest only two inches, and the ground was bare 

 most of the month. A moderate thunderstorm occurred on the 

 13th, a very unusual occurrane at this time of year. Many days 

 showed a large wind movement and changes of direction were 

 not so frequent as usual. 



The amount of sunshine was nearly the usual value.
