REMARKS 



The weather during the month was generally seasonable and more 

 pleasant than usual. Comparatively few stormy days occurred and 

 the amount of sunshine was large. While the range of temperature 

 was large the month proved to be more mild than normally the case. 

 The first week of the month was unusually warm and several very 

 high temperatures for the time of year were noted. The wind move- 

 ment was rather large with an abnormal amount from the southwest 

 quadrant. The persistancy of the wind from this quarter has been a 

 marked feature of the weather for several months. The precipita- 

 tion was very light after the first third of the month. 



Comparing the records of the several weather elements with their 

 respective normals the following features are noted : The mean bar- 

 rometer was low for this time of year and the range was rather small. 

 The total wind movement was more than ten per cent greater than 

 the normal and a number of gales were recorded the last third of the 

 month. The gales, however, were of only moderate intensity. 



The mean temperature was but slightly greater than the normal, 

 notwithstanding the general impression that the month was much 

 milder than usual. The maximum temperature was nearly ten de- 

 grees higher than usual and the minimum a few degrees lower than 

 usual, giving a very large range for the month. Thin ice was formed 

 in shallow places on the 21st, a date much earlier than usual. Sev- 

 eral days showed an average hourly temperature equal to good sum- 

 mer weather. 



The mean due point and relative humidity were both practically 

 normal. 



The total precipitation was about two-thirds of the normal and 

 nearly all of it occurred during two well defined storms. 



The amount of sunshine was about ten per cent greater than nor- 

 mal although the number of cloudy days was rather large. Two 

 thunder storms were noted which was rather unusual.
