REMARKS 



The weather during the month was generally fair with but 

 little precipitation and cloudiness. Following the dry conditions 

 of May, by the end of the month the ground was without suffic- 

 ient moisture for the growing crops. The month was cooler 

 than usual and the daily maximum temperatures did' not reach 

 the eighties until after the middle of the month, when they 

 went above 80 degrees for the first time this year. The first 

 half of the year, however, has been passed without the tempera- 

 ture reaching 90 degrees. 



The barometer records were nearly normal although the 

 mean was slightly below the average for the month of June. 

 The total wind movement was small and only two gales were 

 registered. The wind direction was more variable than usual. 



The mean temperature was more than a degree below the 

 normal, and the minimum was above the average value. Owing 

 to the low maximum record the range of temperature was nearly 

 five degrees less than usual. 



The mean dew point and relative humidity were both near 

 their respective normals. 



The total precipitation was practically forty per cent of the 

 normal and many of the storms were so small that they scarcely 

 moistened the ground. 



The amount of sunshine was large and there were only four 

 days classed as cloudy. 



Owing to the peculiar conditions that have prevailed the 

 season is very backward. This is especially noticeable in the 

 poor condition of corn and somewhat less so in the lateness of 

 tobacco and onions.
