REMARKS 



The weather during the month was generally pleasant, and the 

 fluctuations in pressure and temperature were considerably smaller 

 than usual. Usually one of the most enjoyable seasons of the year, 

 the past month was fully up to expectations, and left but little to be 

 desired. 



Several of the features are deserving of passing notice, however, 

 and attention is called to those following : The barometer was 

 above the normal, and September has the highest normal of any 

 month of the year. The range was the smallest September range on 

 the records of this station. The changes in pressure being gener- 

 ally small and slow, there were no gales recorded, and the maximum 

 wind velocity was very small. 



The maximum temperature was nearly six degrees below the nor- 

 mal and the minimum slightly above the normal, giving the smallest 

 range for September on our records here. The greatest daily range, 

 however, was large. 



The mean dew point was slightly lower than usual, and the rela- 

 tive humidity five per cent above the normal ; a record rather un- 

 expected on account of the small precipitation. 



The total precipitation was about seventy per cent of the normal, 

 and most of it occurred early in the month. At the close of the month 

 droughty conditions prevailed. 



The total wind movement was normal, and on many dates practi- 

 cally no pressure was recorded. The amount of sunshine was con- 

 siderably above the average.
