REMARKS 



The weather during the month presented extreme records in a 

 number of features, but perhaps the most prominent was the range 

 in the records of some of the elements, especially those of tempera- 

 ture and pressure. The amount of precipitation was also excep- 

 tionally large. 



An analysis of the several weather elements of the month shows 

 the following features : The mean barometer was the highest in ten 

 years, excepting only the years 1907 and 1909. The maximum was 

 extremely high and the minimum quite low giving the greatest range 

 since 1894. The fluctuations in pressure were generally large and 

 rapid giving a pressure chart of large waves. As usual, high winds 

 marked the periods of greatest fluctuations of pressure. 



The mean temperature was more than two degrees above the 

 normal ; the maximum over five degrees higher than usual and 

 occurred during a heavy rain at 3-30 a. m. — a most unusual time for 

 such a record. The minimum was slightly lower than usual, giving 

 the large range referred to above. 



The mean dew point and relative humidity were both high as 

 might be inferred from the precipitation and sunshine records. 



The total precipitation was about eighty per cent more than the 

 normal and well distributed throughout the month. The record was 

 the largest since 1898. 



The wind movement was large with a considerable number of 

 gales and more than usual from the northeast quadrant. 



The amount of sunshine was less than the average, giving a 

 large number of cloudy days.
