REMARKS 



The weather for the month of September was mild and dry. The 

 mean daily temperatures for the month averaged 61.4, only 0.3 degrees 

 below the normal mean daily temperature of September, Although 

 the low precipitation of 2.63 inches was considerably under the 4.24 

 inch average for the month, higher than normal relative humidity 

 helped ofifset the effect of the light rainfall. Nearly 40 percent of 

 the month's rainfall was accounted for by the storm of the 15th. 



Heating load for the month was 147 degree-days, slightly more 

 than normal, but one-sixth of the total came on the 30th, accompany- 

 ing the first frost of the season. 



While the first frost of the season occurred on the 30th, 9 days 

 later than normal, it may be noted that the records show no first frost 

 to have occurred on the average date, the 21st, in this century.
