REMARKS 



The weather during the month, while not far from normal as 

 far as mean values are concerned, had a number of unusual 

 features. Winter temperature on the 1st and Summer tempera- 

 ture on 21st. A very light precipitation up to the 28th and then 

 a very heavy rain making the total for the month more than the 

 normal. A large wind movement and numerous gales were re- 

 corded and yet the maximum daily movement was not specially 

 large. The seasonal progress was rather slow and at the close of 

 the month conditions were about two weeks behind normal. 



The records of the several weather elements compared with 

 their respective normals show the following features : The mean 

 barometer was rather low and the range larger than usual. The 

 last half of the month the low pressure was especially marked 

 culminating in the lowest record for the month on the 30th. 



The mean temperature was about a degree lower than usual 

 and the range was nearly 20 degrees more than normal. This 

 was due to the extremely low minimum on the 1st which was 13 

 degrees lower than usual and the lowest record for this month on 

 our records. The maximum temperature was the highest since 

 1915. 



The mean dew point and relative humidity were both rather 

 low. 



The precipitation record showed but one rain of any note up 

 to the 28th. On the 28th-29th an exceptionally heavy storm 

 occurred bringing the total for the month slightly above the 

 normal. 



The total wind movement was very large and many gales 

 were registered. Two were over 50 miles per hour. 



The amount of sunshine was very large and onl}^ a few cloudy 

 days were noted.
