REMARKS 



The weather during the month was in general of midsummer type, 

 although some of the features showed considerable departure from 

 the mean values for July. The light precipitation and large wind 

 movement were the most noticeable departures from the normals. 



The mean barometer was unusually low, in fact during the past 

 twenty years the July mean was materially lower in but two years. 

 The maximum for the month was practically normal. The minimum 

 was unusually low for the time of year, in fact, lower than any pre- 

 vious July record at this station, giving a range in pressure about 

 twenty per cent, more than usual. A large percentage of the wind 

 was from the western points of the compass, and the total move- 

 ment was greater than any previous July record here. The amount 

 was about fifty per cent, more than the average. 



The mean temperature was more than two degrees below the nor- 

 mal, while the maximum and minimum were not far from average 

 values. 



The first third of the month was generally cool, and was followed 

 by about a week with high temperature. From the i8th to the 26th 

 the days were fair and pleasant, while the last six days were the 

 most oppressive of the month. 



The mean dew point and relative humidity were both slightly be- 

 low the normal. 



The precipitation was less than one-half the usual amount, and 

 the smallest July record since 1894. About two-thirds of the total 

 fell during a single storm on the i6th. 



The sunshine record was large, and but three days were recorded 

 as cloudy.
