REMARKS 



The weather during the month was more clondy than usual 

 and a rather large precipation occurred . The first frost of the 

 season occuared on the 9th, about three weeks later than usual, 

 giving most crops ample opportunity to mature. On the 20th 

 the average temperature was only two degrees above freezing. 

 Later in the month the temperature was below the freezing point 

 several times. The wind directions were much more variable 

 than usual. On the 24th-25th the barometer fell more than an 

 inch in 24 hours and the recovery of pressure was almost as 

 rapid. On the 24th-25th the rainfall was nearly two inches. 



Some of the more important features of the several weather 

 elements are as follows : The mean barometer was very low for 

 the time of year and the range of pressure unusually large. The 

 total wind movement was much less than the normal and only 

 one gale was registered. 



The mean temperature wag slightly lower than the normal 

 and the range about the usual amount. Early in the month an 

 abnormally warm day occurred. 



The mean dew-point and relative humidity were both lower 

 than their normals. 



The total precipitation was more than an inch greater than 

 the normal, due to several rather heavy storms. 



Only two days were classed as clear and the number of fair 

 and cloudy days was about the same.
