REMARKS. 



The drought, which was quite marked during the last part of 

 August, was effectually broken early in September by a rainfall of 

 about two inches. The precipitation later in the month was aug- 

 mented by a number of heavy rains, which resulted in making the 

 total for the month nK^re than twice the normal. A new high record 

 for September was made, and the only monthly records exceeding 

 that of this month since the station was established are those of 

 July, 1897, 14.51 in.; and August, 1904, 9.09 in. 



The amount of sunshine was but little more than half the normal, 

 giving a new low record for the month for that weather element. 



The mean relative humidity, while nearly seven per cent more than 

 normal, was lesS than several previous September records. 



The mean barometer was nearly normal and the range a little 

 larger than usual. • 



The total wind movement was larger than usual although but one 

 gale was noted. 



Notwithstanding the small amount of sunshine the mean tempera- 

 ture was practically normal. The maximum was rather low and 

 the minimum high giving a range considerably smaller than the 

 average. 



The mean dew point was normal ; a very slight frost was noted in 

 a few places on the morning of the 27th.
