REMARKS 



The weather during the month was exceptionally pleasant, es- 

 pecially considering the time of year, when the transition from Au- 

 tumn to Winter is usually well under way. It can hardly be said 

 that there was a single wintry day during the month. While the 

 precipitation was considerably more than the normal, the number of 

 cither clear or fair days was large. The last week of the month was 

 marked by considerable high wind. 



The mean barometer was lower than the normal for November, 

 and the range somewhat less than the average value ; due to a low 

 maximum and high minimum. The maximum pressure was regis- 

 tered at midnight on the last day of the month. 



While most of the wind was from the southwest quadrant, the 

 heaviest gale was from the opposite direction. 



All the principal temperature records were higher than the corre- 

 sponding normals. The mean temperature showed an excess of 

 more than two degrees, while the minimum record was nearly seven 

 degrees higher than the average value for that feature. 



The mean dew point and relative humidity were both slightly 

 above normal values. 



The total precipitation was about twenty-five per cent more than 

 the normal, and all of it fell during four well defined storms. The 

 storm on the yth-Sth was much the heaviest ; one-half the total for 

 the month occurring at that time. Traces of snow were observed 

 on several dates, but the one noted on the 28th was the only one 

 which perceptibly whitened the ground. 



The total wind movement was nearly one-fifth more than the nor- 

 mal, and a number of gales were recorded on the wind pressure 

 chart. 



The number of hours of sunshine was about twenty per cent more 

 than usual for this month. The sunshine record for the last part of 

 the month was made with the old Draper recorder, owing to the 

 electric recorder being out of commission. The electric recorder 

 was started again on the last day of the month.
