REMARKS 



The outstanding feature of the weather during the month 

 was the exceedingly large precipitation. Starting early in the 

 month more than an inch was recorded on the 2nd, about l}i 

 inches on the 11th, a still larger amount on the 21st and finally 

 nearly 2ji inches on the 25th. The last mentioned storm -was 

 one of the most severe that has occurred here since the writer 

 has been connected with the station — a period of twenty-five 

 years. Starting a little before midnight of the day before the 

 thunder and lightning was almost incessant for considerable 

 periods up to the time the storm ceased. At about 5 a.m. stand- 

 ard time the rain began and continued until 9-30 a. m. During 

 the heaviest part of the downpour lyV inches fell in a single 

 hour, and about .7 inches in a period of 15 minutes. Besides the 

 storms mentioned there were several others of consider amount. 

 The total of the rainfall was practically three times the normal, 

 and greatest amount for June since 1862, — a period of 60 years. 

 With the exception of July, 1897, the total was the largest for 

 any month since this station was established, in 1889. As a 

 sequence of the large precipitation the relati\e humidity was 

 nearly 14 points higher than the nonnal. 



The mean barometer was practically normal and the range 

 of pressure slightly more than usual. 



The mean temperature was practically normal and the maxi- 

 mum slightly lower than usual. The minimum temperature was 

 rather high giving a comparatively small range for the month. 



The total wind movement was practically normal but the 

 large amount from the southwest quadrant was very unusual. 

 The amount of sunshine was nearly normal notwithstanding the 

 precipitation record
