REMARKS 



The weather during July was fairly normal, excepting the rainfall. 

 More than two-thirds of the days were fair, while the number of clear 

 days was exceptionally small. The wind was from the South or 

 South Southwest practically all the time until after the middle of the 

 month, and from the North points of the compass nearly all of the 

 last half of the month : Two-thirds of the total being from three of 

 the sixteen points of the compass. The mean daily temperature was 

 above the mean temperature of the month on every day from the 

 3d to the 17th, and below, on every day after the i6th, showing a 

 distinct change from warm to cool conditions about the middle of 

 the month. 



The maximum barometer was nearly normal, while the minimum 

 was rather low, giving a large range for this time of year. Fluctua- 

 tions in pressure were, as a rule, not rapid. The mean pressure for 

 the month was practically normal. 



The maximum temperature of 98.5 degrees was recorded on two 

 consecutive days. This record is more than five degrees above the 

 July average maximum at this station. The minimum was more 

 than four degrees lower than usual, giving a large range for the 

 month. On three consecutive days, the 8th, 9th, loth, the average 

 hourly temperature was above 80 degrees. 



The mean dew point and relative humidity were both below the 

 normal values. 



The total precipitation was less than 60 per cent of the normal, 

 the greater part occurring after the middle of the month. 



The total wind movement was more than the normal, but not a 

 single gale was recorded on the pressure chart. 



The amount of sunshine recorded was above the average, although 

 but three days showed more than 80 per cent of the possible amount; 

 the percentage necessary to have a day recorded as clear.
