REMARKS 



The season's progress during the month was nearly normal 

 so that the backwardness noted when the month opened con- 

 tinued throughout the month without much change. While the 

 amount of bright sunshine was unusually large and the number 

 of cloudy days small, the cold nights lowered the temper ture so 

 that the month was slightly colder than usual. Vegetation has 

 made very uneven progress. There was but little frost during the 

 month. Not a single thunder storm was noted. 



The records of the several weather elements show the follow- 

 ing features: The barometer records were generally normal, al- 

 though the pressure was rather low during the second week of 

 the month. The total wind movement was slightly less than 

 the average and the number of gales small. The wind direction 

 was rather variable. 



The mean temperature was less than a degree below the 

 normal although the general impression was that the month was 

 much colder than usual. The maximum and minimum tempera- 

 tures were both near their normal values. 



The mean dew point and relative humidity were both com- 

 paratively low. 



The total precipitation was about one-half inch less than the 

 normal. Nearly the whole amount fell during three well defined 

 storms. The last third of the month was without rain. 



The amount of sunshine was nearly fifty per cent more than 

 usual.
