REMARKS 



The weather for the month was quite comfortable with the 

 highest temperature, 88 degrees, reached on the 9th. The mean 

 daily of 66.8 degrees, however, was accompanied by the mean 

 relative humidity of 75.5% so that rather stuffy weather would 

 have been experienced with much increase in temperature. 



Only 2.94 inches of rain of the mean expected 4.08 inches was 

 recorded and 1.15 inches of the total fell on the 19th. This broke 

 the drouthy period to which farmers were giving serious considera- 

 tion. The total wind movement of only 2268 miles against a mean 

 of 3127 miles indicates that even normal wind could have made 

 the effect of the drouth much more serious. Cloudiness above the 

 mean value also undoubtedly contributed to making the drouthy 

 conditions more bearable.
