REMARKS. 



The weather during May was generally seasonable and was marked 

 by no unusual features of especial interest. A few unusually warm 

 days near the middle of the month and a couple of cool days near 

 the close of the month were perhaps the most noticeable features. 



A comparison of the records with those of previous years shows 

 the following characteristics of the several weather elements. The 

 mean barometer was normal and the range was considerably more 

 than usual. The fluctuations in pressure were generally slow and 

 unimportant. 



The mean temperature was slightly lower than usual and the max- 

 imum and minirrium were both above the average records. The 

 maximum record was made considerably earlier than usual in the 

 month. Several frosts were noted but the only one causing damage 

 occurred on the nth, too early in the month to cause great damage. 



The mean dew point was slightly lower and the relative humidity 

 considerably higher than usual. 



The total precipitation was about forty per cent, more than normal. 

 About two-thirds of it occurred during the heavy storm of the 27th- 

 29th. 



The total wind movement was considerably less than usual although 

 a number of light gales occurred. 



The number of hours of bright sunshine was large and but few 

 cloudy days were noted.
