REMARKS 



The subnormal temperature which prevailed throughout the 

 spring continued during June up to nearly the close of the 

 month. Notwithstanding the relatively low temperature and 

 cold nights, the seasonal progress was rather rapid and the 

 month closed with vegetation only about two weeks behind 

 normal conditions. Corn, however, is so far backward that the 

 chance for a crop to mature is far from good. 



Generally the weather has been pleasant and free from high 

 temperatures. 



The records of the several weather elements, compared with 

 their normals, show the following features : The mean barometer 

 was unusually low and the change of pressure was rather slow 

 and high wind record-s not in evidence. Wind directions were 

 more variable than usual. 



The mean temperature was nearly five degrees below the 

 normal, making it the coldest June since 1903. Light frost was 

 reported in many places on the 17th, but the damage done was 

 not great. 



The mean dew point was nearly three degrees below the 

 normal while the relative humidity was rather high. 



The total precipitation was about two-thirds of the normal 

 and nearly all of it was in light showers, which failed to give much 

 moisture to the soU. Heavy rain was much needed when the 

 month closed. 



The total wind movement was slightly more than normal. 



The amount of cloudiness was nearly normal and about three 

 fourths of the days were either clear or fair.
