REMARKS 



The weather during March presented a number of features out of 

 the ordinary when compared with former records. The most promi- 

 nent of the abnormal features was the barometric record. The 

 wind movement and range of temperature were also unusual records 

 for the station. 



Comparing the records with those of former years the following 

 features are noted : The mean barometer made a new low record 

 for March at this station. The minimum pressure was also lower 

 than any previous March record here. The only mean monthly 

 barometer for any month on our records, showing a lower pressure 

 is that of April 1889, with a record of 29.795 inches. The mini- 

 mum records for-January 1891, February 1895 and 1896 and Nov. 

 1904 are the only lower mimimum records since the establishment 

 of the station. 



The total wind movement was large, being about thirty per cent 

 more than the March normal. It was, however, about 1150 miles 

 less than the highest March record. 



Although the month seemed warmer than usual, the maximum 

 temperature was more than 7 degrees lower than the normal and the 

 minimum more than 8 degrees higher than the normal — giving the 

 smallest range for March on our records. 



The mean dew point was practically normal while the relative 

 humidity was 7 per cent above the average. 



The total precipitation was about three-fourths of the normal and 

 over 60 per cent of the total occurred on a single date. 



The amount of sunshine was considerably more than normal and 

 the number of cloudy days comparatively few. The month closed 

 with every indication of an early spring season.
