REMARKS. 



The weather during November, while generally normal, showed a 

 few departures of considerable magnitude from the usual records for 

 this month. The mean relative humidity record was unusually high 

 as noted below. 



The precipitation record and minimum temperature were also 

 somewhat abnormal. 



A comparison of records with those of former years, and an exam- 

 ination of the charts, show the following features of interest : The 

 mean barometer was practically normal, the minimum was unusually 

 low, giving a range considerably larger than usual. During the first 

 week of the month the fluctuations were large and rapid ; on two 

 dates, the fall was nearly one inch during the calendar day. The 

 remainder of the month had a number of rapid changes but of con- 

 siderably less magnitude. 



The mean temperature was practically normal. The maximum 

 was more than four degrees lower and the minimum over eight de- 

 grees higher than the usual records, giving a very small range for 

 the month. 



The mean dew point was slightly higher than the normal and the 

 relative humidity over eleven per cent above the mean, giving a new 

 high record for that element for November. 



The total precipitation was about one-third more than usual and 

 was well distributed throughout the month. There was a wet snow- 

 fall near the end of the month, which soon melted. 



The total wind movement was about ten per cent more than the 

 normal. On eight dates, the record exceeded 240 miles, or an aver- 

 age of ten miles per hour. The pressure chart showed but two gales. 



The amount of sunshine was practically normal.
