REMARKS. 



The weather during August was of the same general character as 

 that of July, the predominating features being the high humidity and 

 numerous thunder storms. The week beginning with the 12 th was, 

 however, an exception to the general character of the month, the 

 days being clear and pleasant. The precipitation was much greater 

 than during July, as the thunder storms were much more severe. 



The mean barometer was slightly higher than the normal, while 

 the maximum and minimum were nearly the usual records. The 

 total wind movement was about 15 per cent more than usual, although 

 not a single gale was noted. South wind predominated, as during 



July. 



The mean temperature was about three degrees above the normal, 

 the maximum was normal and the minimum was high, giving a small- 

 er range than usual. The relative humidity was higher than any 

 previous August record at this station, and slightly higher than the 

 abnormal record of the previous month. The mean dew point was 

 also unusually high. 



The total precipitation was about two inches more than the nor- 

 mal, and much of it was accompanied by thunder and lightning. 

 The storm on the 21st was made up of a number of distinct showers, 

 and the thunder and lightning was the most severe of the season. 



The percentage of cloudiness was considerably less than usual.
