REMARKS 



The weather during August was generally normal with few 

 features of special interest. The second week of the month was 

 rather cool and the third week was the warmest period of month. 

 The last week of the month had considerably foggy weather and 

 the precipitation was considerable. The maximum daily temper- 

 ature was above 80 degrees on about one-half the days but there 

 was practically no excessively warm weather. 



The records of the several weather elements show the follow- 

 ing features : The barometer was very steady and the mean pres- 

 sure for the month was practically normal. The total wind move- 

 ment was slightly less than usual and no gales were registered on 

 the pressure chart. The wind was from the southwest quadrant 

 more than usual and there was considerable wind from the north- 

 east quadrant as well. On about one-half the days the wind move- 

 ment was so small that no pressure was recorded on the pressure 

 chart. 



The maximum and minimum temperatures were both nearly the 

 average values for this month and the mean temperature was practi- 

 cally normal. 



The mean dew point was about normal and the relative humid- 

 ity rather high. 



The total precipitation was slightly more than the normal and 

 there were numerous thunderstorms but they were of much less in- 

 tensity than those of July. 



The sunshine record was large, considering the character of 

 the other weather elements.
