REMARKS 



The weather during the month has been more nearly normal 

 than for several months. The extreme heat on the 21st and 2 2d 

 was the most outstanding feature of the month. On the 2 2d the 

 maximum temperature reached 100 degrees which is the highest 

 reading recorded here since July 4, 1911, when W)4 degrees was 

 registered. On the 10th a very heavy /thii«<ier shojver gave 

 nearly an inch of water in half an hour, a-rate-pf rainfall very 

 rare in this section. A steady rain near the end of the month 

 did much for growing crops. 



The several weather elements show the following features : The 

 mean barometer was practically normal and the range more than 

 usual. The last week of the month was marked by a high and 

 very steady pressure. The total wind movement was about 

 eighty per cent of the normal and most of it came from the 

 southwest quadrant. 



The mean hourly temperature was more than a degree below 

 the normal and the range more than usual. The maximum 

 temperature was above ninety degrees on five days. The 

 minimum temperature was below fifty degrees on three days. 



The mean dew point and relative humidity were both nearly 

 normal. 



The total precipitation was about eighty per cent of the normal 

 and most of it occurred during thunder storms. 



The amount of sunshine was about fifty hours more than 

 usual. 



Only two gales were registered and both were over fifty miles 

 per hour.
