REMARKS 



The weather during the month was marked by a large amount 

 of sunshine and a comparatively small precipitation. During the 

 first ten days the maximum temperature was above 80 degrees each 

 day and the period was much warmer than usual. The last two days 

 were also extremely warm. The persistency of the wind from near 

 the south point of the compass was especially noticeable and the 

 small precipitation with so much south wind was very unusual. The 

 absence of any frost during the entire month was also an exceptional 

 feature. 



The records of the several weather elements show the following 

 features when compared with their respective normals : The barome- 

 ter records showed no unusual features, excepting the very rapid fall 

 preceding the storm on the last day of the month. The range of 

 pressure was rather small. 



The mean temperature was more than four degrees higher than 

 the normal and the maximum more than five degrees higher than 

 usual. Owing to a rather high minimum, the range was not much 

 larger than usual. Several days showed a mean hourly temperature 

 above 70 degrees. 



The mean dew point was comparatively high and the relative 

 humidity nearly normal. 



The total precipitation was less than half the normal, only two 

 storms showing any considerable amount. 



The total wind movement was slightly greater than the normal, 

 but the record for the first ten days — the period of high maximum 

 temperatures — was very small. 



While there were several cloudy days, the total amount of cloud- 

 iness was small.
