REMARKS 



The weather during the month showed no abnormal features of 

 importance. The first frost of the season, about the middle of the 

 month, while but a few days earlier than usual, caused considerable 

 damage on account of its severity. Other features not so noticeable 

 were the high relative humidity and dewpoint. 



The minor departures from the normals found by comparing the 

 records of the month with previous September records here are as 

 follows : The mean barometer was slightly lower than the normal 

 and the range a few hundredths less than usual. Both the maximum 

 and minimum for the month were below average values. 



The total wind movement was about 500 miles more than the 

 September average, but no gales were recorded on the wind pres- 

 sure chart. The prevailing direction of the wind was around to 

 right of the more usual positions. 



The mean temperature was about a degree below the normal and 

 the range was the average value. The maximum temperature was 

 about four degrees below the normal, and the minimum was nearly 

 the same amount below the mean value of the September minima, 



The mean relative humidity was about 6 points higher than the 

 normal and the mean dewpoint about one per cent greater than the 

 average. 



The total precipitation was nearly an inch less than the Septem- 

 ber mean. No heavy storms were noted. The records show that it 

 was fairly well distributed throughout the month. 



The amount of sunshine was nearly normal.
