REMARKS 



The weather during July was unusually dry and warm with an 

 excessive amount of sunshine. During the entire month not a sin- 

 gle day showed less than six hours of sunshine and consequently 

 there were no cloudy days recorded. 



An analysis of the records shows the following features charac- 

 terizing the several weather elements: The mean barometer was very 

 low and the range comparatively small. The fluctuations in pres- 

 sure were generally small and slow. The total wind movement was 

 slightly more than the mean and a large amount was from the south- 

 west quadrant. 



The mean teinperature was more than two degrees higher than 

 the normal, and was but slightly below our highest July mean. The 

 maximum and minimum were both high while the range was about 

 an average value. Several abnormally high daily means were noted. 



The mean dew point was practically normal and the relative 

 humidity was considerably below the normal. 



The total precipitation was about forty per cent of the normal 

 and much of it occurred during thunder storms. It was fairly well 

 distributed throughout the month. Thunder and lightning of mod- 

 erate intensity was noted on several dates. 



More than half the days were clear, giving an abnormally large 

 sunshine record.
