REMARKS 



The weather during May was disappointing in general 

 and the prospect of an early season disappeared. Considera- 

 ble cloudiness and low temperature, especially during the last 

 part of the month, caused this unfavorable condition. The 

 wind was rather persistantly from the Southwest quadrant 

 and the total movement was rather small. On the 26th 

 freezing temperature was registered and some damage was 

 done. The damage, however, was small owing largely to the 

 foggy condition of the air in the early morning of that day. 



A comparison of the records of the several weather 

 elements with their respective normals shows the following 

 features : The mean barometer was rather low and the range 

 of pressure practically normal. Changes in pressure were 

 generally small and rather slow, and there was very little high 

 wind. 



Only a few thunderstorms were noted and they were of 

 moderate intensity. 



The mean temperature was three degrees lower than the 

 normal, and the range small for the month. Nearly one-third 

 of the days had a mean hourly temperature below 50 degrees. 

 The last week was especially cool. 



The mean dew point was nearly normal while the relative 

 humidity was high. 



The total precipitation was about two-thirds of the normal 

 and it occurred during frequent small storms. 

 The observed cloudiness was practically normal.
