REMARKS 



The weather for the month was more pleasant than usual, owing 

 to the general absence of sultry days. The rainfall was much below 

 the normal and most of it occured in rather small storms. The thun- 

 der storms were of only moderate severity. 



The first third of the month was much the warmest part while the 

 last third showed considerable low temperature. The amount of 

 sunshine was very large and only two cloudy days were recorded. 



The records of the several weather elements show the following 

 features: The barometer records were all rather low and the changes 

 of pressure generally slow and small. The total wind movement was 

 slightly more than the normal although there was but little high wind. 

 The large amount of wind from the Southwest quadrant was especi- 

 ally noticeable. 



The mean temperature was about one degree below the normal; 

 the maximum was more than three degrees higher than the 

 average value for this record, and the minimum nearly five degrees 

 lower than usual, giving a large range for the month. The minimum 

 record was very near to the frost line and the lowest since 1908. 



The mean dew point was more than three degrees below the nor- 

 mal and the relative humidity practically normal. 



The total precipitation was about sixty per cent of the normal so 

 that the droughty condition at the beginning of the month was not 

 materially bettered.
