REMARKS 



The weather during the month was generally pleasant with com- 

 paratively few cloudy days. High temperature was but little in evi- 

 dence although the weather could hardly be called cool. A light 

 precipitation was perhaps the most abnormal feature. 



A comparison of the several weather elements with the normals 

 for this station shows the following as the more important character- 

 istics of the month : The mean barometer was lower than the normal 

 and the range less than usual. Changes in pressure were generally 

 slow and of small range, On account of the steady barometric pres- 

 sure the total wind movement was small and many days did not 

 show any apparent pressure on the wind pressure chart. The wind 

 was from the .northwest points of the compass a large part of the 

 time. Not a single gale was registered during the month. 



The mean temperature was slightly lower than the normal ; the 

 maximum was rather less than usual and the minimum above the 

 average value giving a small monthly range. On comparatively 

 few dates was a temperature of 80 degrees or more reached so that 

 there was but little oppressive weather. 



The mean dew point was slightly below the normal and the rela- 

 tive humidity slightly more than the average. 



The total precipitation was about six tenths of the normal and 

 the greater part occurred the first half of the month. The deficiency 

 in rainfall which has been steadily accumulating since the first of the 

 year was augmented by nearly two inches. 



The amount of bright sunshine recorded was nearly twenty per 

 cent more than the normal.
