REMARKS 



The weather during the month was generally pleasant with 

 very little cloudiness. The precipation was rather light and 

 amounted to very little after the first third of the month. The 

 second full week of the month was rather cool with the minimum 

 temperature in the forties most of the days. The following 

 week was much the warmest part of the month with the maxi- 

 mum temperature in the eighties. The last week of the month 

 was marked by a very low barometer about the whole period. 

 The wind direction was more variable than usual and the total 

 movement rather small. Vegetation made good progress but 

 rain was much needed when the month closed. 



The mean barometer was ver}^ low and the range a little 

 greater than usual. Only two gales were noted and they were of 

 little severity. 



The mean temperature was about two degrees higher than 

 the normal and the maximum and minimum records were both 

 well above their normals. The low relative humidity made the 

 hot days less oppressive than usual. The mean dew-point was 

 about normal. 



The total precipation was about one inch less than the 

 normal and more than one-half of it occurred during a single 

 storm on the 7th-9tli. There were a few thunder storms but 

 they were of but little severity in this immediate vicinity. 



The amount of sunshine was about 100 hours more than the 

 normal and only one cloudy day was recorded.
