REMARKS 



The weather during July was generally normal except for the 

 high humidity. The humidity was due in a large measure to the 

 prevalance of wind from the South and South Southwest. The 

 wind movement was very small and only a single gale was recorded, 

 and that was of very short duration. The precipitation was well 

 distributed throughout the month and most of it occurred with severe 

 thunder and lightning. 



The records of the several weather elements, compared with their 

 respective normals show the following features : The mean barometer 

 was very high for July, and the range of pressure was about eighty 

 per cent of the normal value. The pressure was very steady for 

 rather long periods, which accounts for the small wind movement. 

 For about two-thirds of the time the daily wind movement was less 

 than ICO miles. 



The mean hourly temperature was slightly less than usual, and 

 the maximum was practically normal. On only two dayS; however, 

 did the temperature go above ninety degrees. The minimum temper- 

 ature was nearly four degrees higher than the normal for this feature 

 and that record was made about the last of the month. The range 

 of temperature was unusually small. 



The mean due point was about one degree higher than usual 

 while the relative humidity was about seven points above the normal. 



The total precipitation was practically normal. The amount of 

 sunshine was large although there were several cloudy days.
