REMARKS 



The weather during June was considerably warmer than 

 usual, and there was more than the normal amount of rain. 

 The highest temperature was 94 degrees on the 20th and the 

 lowest, 45 degrees on the 3rd. The mean temperature for the 

 month was 66.7 degrees, while the normal mean temperature for 

 June is 63.7 degrees. 



The total rainfall for the month was 4.24 inches of which 

 2.25 inches fell on the 9th. The normal rainfall for June is 3.54 

 inches. Rain fell on 12 days. The total precipitation from 

 January 1 to June 30 is 23.80 inches. The normal precipitation 

 for this same period is 20.89 inches. 



The heavy rains during May and June have produced a 

 heavy hay crop but quality has been impaired in some cases. 

 Corn and tobacco are somewhat later than normal on account 

 of the heavy rains. The wet weather has favored the develop- 

 ment of apple scab and the rotting of strawberries. Apples set 

 only moderately well and strawberries are yielding considerably 

 less than last year. Peaches and plums set well and promise 

 full crops. 



There was a total of 251.7 hours of bright sunshine during 

 the month compared to a normal of 257.4 hours. The total 

 wind movement during the month was 3704 miles. The normal 

 is 3584 miles in June. The highest wind velocity was 28 miles 

 per hour on the 21st. The prevailing wind direction for the 

 month was northwest.
