REMARKS 



The weather during August was not nearly as sultry as that of 

 July, and therefore more pleasant. Unusual features were generally 

 wanting and normal conditions prevalent. The last decade of the 

 month was generally clear and free from precipitation. No gales 

 were recorded and on many days no pressure registered on the wind 

 pressure chart. 



A comparison of the records of the several weather elements 

 with their respective normals shows the following features : The 

 mean barometer was rather high and the range about the usual 

 amount. About one-third of the wind was from the south-southwest. 



The mean temperature was about a degree lower than usual, 

 and the maximum was practically normal and came near the last of 

 the month. The minimum was about three degrees higher than 

 usual, giving a rather small range. 



The mean dew point was about two degrees lower than usual 

 and the relative humidity was practically normal. 



The total precipitation was less than two-thirds of the normal 

 and no storms of any severity occurred. 



The total wind movement was about twenty per cent more than 

 the normal, although there were no large daily movements. 



The amount of bright sunshine was very large and but little 

 cloudy weather was noted.
