REMARKS 



The weather during September was in general normal with 

 but few unusual features. The first half of the month had several 

 thunder storms and the precipitation for that period was practically 

 normal. The last half of the month was practically without rain 

 and but little cloudy weather. The first appearance of frost was on 

 the 19th and it was very light and did no damage. On the morning 

 of the 26th a moderately heavy frost was noted and uncut corn was 

 damaged. 



The records of the several weather elements show the follow- 

 ing features : The mean barometer was rather high and the range 

 of pressure relatively small. Change in pressure was generally slow. 

 As a result of the steady pressure the total wind movement was only 

 about 80 per cent of the normal and no gales were recorded. The 

 persistency of the wind from the southwest quadrant was about 

 as marked as during July and August and the relative humidity was 

 correspondingly high. 



The month was slightly warmer than usual although there were 

 no very high temperatures. The range of temperature was slightly 

 more than normal. 



The mean dew point was about a degree higher than normal. 



The total precipitation was slightly more than one-half the usual 

 amount and nearly all of it was accompanied by thunder and lightning. 



The amount of sunshine was considerably more than normal 

 although there were several cloudy days.
