REMARKS 



The first two weeks of the month were practically devoid of pre- 

 cipitation, with temperatures slightly higher than the average of the 

 month. On the 15th a heavy rainfall occurred, which practically 

 broke the drought which had prevailed for a considerable period. 

 Rain fell on the i6th and 17th, and the last week was stormy most of 

 the time. The most characteristic feature was the large precipita- 

 tion. 



A comparison of the records with the normals of this station shows 

 the following features: The mean barometer was slightly higher 

 than the normal and the range somewhat greater than usual. Fluc- 

 tuations in pressure were generally small and unimportant. The 

 total wind movement was about normal, but an unusually large num- 

 ber of days showed no pressure on the "Force of Wind" chart. 

 Most of the wind was from the southwest quadrant. 



The maximum temperature was nearly four degrees above the 

 normal value and the minimum was slightly higher than the normal, 

 giving a range a little greater than usual. The mean temperature 

 was practically normal. 



The mean dew point and relative humidity were both about nor- 

 mal. 



The total precipitation was about forty per cent more than the 

 average. It was the first time during the current year that the pre- 

 cipitation record was above the monthly normal. 



The amount of bright sunshine recorded was very nearly the usual 

 amount, but the last week was unusually cloudy.
