REMARKS 



The most prominent features of the weather during September 

 were the large precipitation, comparatively small range of tempera- 

 ture and the absence of frost. While very light frost was observed 

 in this vicinity on the morning of the 29th there was none at the 

 station. Not since 189 1 has the first frost of the season occurred as 

 late as October. 



An analysis of the previous records here shows the following fea- 

 tures : The mean barometer was the highest since 1894, and the 

 maximum and minimum records were both considerably higher than 

 the normal, while the range was less than usual. The total wind 

 movement was over 20 per cent, more than the normal, and the 

 direction quite variable. 



The maximum temperature was about 5 degrees lower than the 

 September normal and the minimum record was rather high, giving 

 a range of more than 7 degrees less than usual. The mean tem- 

 perature was slightly less than normal. 



The mean dew point was slightly above the average and the rela- 

 tive humidity about 5 per cent, greater than the normal. 



The total precipitation was about ^ of an inch more than the 

 average. Considerably more than one half the total fell in a single 

 storm near the close of the month. 



The amount of sunshine was very nearly normal, although the last 

 third of the month was quite cloudy. 



Notwi;hstanding the rather large wind movement there were no 

 gales registered.
