REMARKS 



The most pronounced feature of the weather for the month 

 was the heavy precipitation, after the shortage which had been 

 accumulating since April. Four heavy rains occurred which 

 effectually broke all traces of the drought. While the first frost 

 was more than a week later than usual the month was consider- 

 ably cooler than normal and much cloudiness was in evidence. 



The mean barometer was higher than the normal and the 

 range of pressure rather large. Two very pronounced lows were 

 registered; one on the 2d and the other on the 30th. Both were 

 accompanied by heavy rainstorms. While the wind movement 

 was practically normal the direction was mostly from the South 

 during the last part of the month. 



The mean temperature was more than two degrees lower 

 than the normal, and the range nearly four degrees more than 

 usual. The maximum temperature was more than three degrees 

 higher than usual but occurred very early in the month, 



The mean dew point was about three degrees below the 

 normal, largely due to the low temperature record. The relative 

 humidity was high owing to the large amount of cloudy days. 



The total precipitation was nearly fifty per cent more than 

 the normal and nearly all of it occurred during well defined 

 storms. All the thunder storms were early in the month. 



The amount of sunshine was a little less than usual.
