REMARKS 



The weather during August was generally pleasant and free 

 from disagreeable features. The precipitation was light and 

 practically all of it occurred before the middle of the month. 

 The last half of the month was marked b}^ a generally high 

 barometer, clear skies and considerable low temperature at 

 night. The total wind movement was unusually small and 

 many days showed no pressure on the wind pressure chart. 

 There was only one gale registered. The wind was largely 

 from the Southwest quadrant. 



The records of the several weather elements show the fol- 

 lowing features : The mean barometer was high for the time 

 of year and the range of pressure was practically normal. As 

 might be inferred from the wind record the changes in pres- 

 sure were generally slow and small. The period of highest 

 barometer, near the end of the month, was accompanied by 

 low temperature which threatened frost. Traces of frost on 

 low land in this vicinity were reported on the mornings of the 

 28th and 29th. 



The mean temperature was practically nomial and the range 

 considerably greater than usual. The temperature went above 

 90 degrees on only one day. 



The mean dew point was practically normal while the rela- 

 tive humidity was exceptionally high. 



The total precipitation was less than one-half the usual 

 amount and most of the storms were light. There were only 

 a few thunder storms. 



The total wind movement was but little more than two- 

 thirds the normal amount. 



The amount of sunshine was large and only a few cloudy 

 days occurred.
