REMARKS 



The season's progress which was so marked when the month 

 opened was not maintained during the month. The slowing up 

 was not due to any special feature but was quite marked and 

 the month closed with Spring conditions about normal. There 

 were no unusual features of importance and departures from 

 normals were general small. Perhaps the large amount of wind 

 from the northwest quadrant had considerable influence. 



The records of the several weather elements show the fol- 

 lowing as the more important features : The mean barometer was 

 slightly higher than usual and the range of pressure rather small. 

 This was due to a minimum considerably higher than the normal 

 for this feature. 



The mean temperature was less than two degrees above the 

 normal, while both the maximum and minimum records were 

 rather high. The mean hourly temperature on the 26th was 

 that of midsummer. The range of temperature on the 22 d was 

 unusually large. 



The mean dew point and relative humidity were both very 

 high for this time of year. 



The total precipitation was slightly more than the normal 

 and occurred in a comparatively few storms of moderate intens- 

 ity. The first third of the month was practically without rain. 



The total wind movement was a little less than usual and 

 there were but few gales. 



The amount of sunshine was considerably more than usual.
