REMARKS 



The warm weather which prevailed during June was followed by 

 even warmer weather during July. The mean temperature for the 

 two months was practically the same as in 1901, and slightly lower 

 than in 1894, The relative humidity for July in each of those years 

 was lower than the record for the month just closed. 



The drought of June continued until nearly the middle of July 

 before it was broken by rain in any amount. 



The mean barometer made a new high record for July at this 

 station. The maximam and minimum records were practically 

 normal. 



The mean temperature was more than two and one-half degrees 

 above the normal, while the maximum and minimum records were 

 both high. A drop in the temperature of fourteen degrees in about 

 twenty minutes during a sudden gust of wind, about noon of the 

 1 8th, was a very unusual feature here. 



The mean dew point was slightly higher than usual, and the mean 

 relative humidity, three per cent above the normal. 



The precipitation was about two thirds of the normal, the heaviest 

 rainstorm occurring near the close of the month. 



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

 normal, winds from the south predominating. 



While the amount of sunshine was considerably less than for June, 

 the amount was large, the records showing but two days classed as 

 cloudy. 



The month closed with hot weather and high humidity.
