REMARKS 



While the weather during November was generally seasonable, the 

 records for some of the elements showed considerable departures 

 from the normals. The most marked of the abnormal features was 

 the small precipitation, increasing the shortage for the year consid- 

 erably. A large wind movement was another prominent feature. 



The temperature for the last week of the month was considerably 

 higher than for the first week; an unusual feature for November, 

 when the transition from autumn to winter is expected. 



A comparison of the records for the month with those of former 

 years shows the following features : The mean barometer was slight- 

 ly lower than normal and the range slightly less than usual. The 

 change in pressure was in general not especially rapid, considering 

 the large wind movement. 



The mean temperature was practically normal. The range was 

 unusually small for November, due to a low maximum and high min- 

 imum. The minimum temperature was one of the three highest 

 minimum records for November. The mean dew point was about 

 normal while the relative humidity was high, due to considerable 

 foggy weather. 



The total precipitation was less than one-third the normal, more 

 than half the amount occurring during a small snowstorm about the 

 middle of the month. 



The total wind movement was about thirty per cent, more than the 

 average. 



The amount of sunshine was nearly twenty per cent, less than the 

 average and about half the days were cloudy.
