REMARKS 



The weather during the month was unusually cloudy, espec- 

 ially during the mornings, and the rainfall was much above the 

 normal. Several heavy rainstorms occurred and the ground 

 water considerably increased. There was but little really low 

 temperature and the ground was practically unfrozen throughout 

 the month. There were three very marked fluctuations in baro- 

 meter pressure, the fall and recovery of pressure both being 

 unusually rapid. Several gales were recorded, some of consider- 

 able intensity. The month as a whole was seasonable and 

 pleasant for the time of year. 



The mean barometer was considerably above the normal and 

 the range of pressure, while slightly less than usual, all occurred 

 in about two days. The maximum and minimum barometer 

 readings were not far from their nonnal \'alues. The heavy 

 gales marked the time of low barometer. 



The total wind movement was about the usual amount while 

 the wind direction was very changeable. 



The mean temperature was nearly nomial and the maximum 

 about five degrees higher than usual, giving a rather larger 

 range. Several rather rapid changes in temperature were noted. 



The mean dew point and relative humidity were both well 

 above their normals. 



The total precipitation was about 60 per cent more than 

 usual and most of it occurred during four heavy rainstorms. 

 Much the greater part occurred during the latter part of the 

 month. 



The amount of sunshine was abnormally small, nearly two- 

 thirds of the days being classed as cloudy.
