REMARKS 



The weather during the month was very disappointing and 

 the season's progress slow. Much cloudiness and generally low 

 temperature were the most noticeable characteristics. The 

 maximum temperature came early in the month and was about 

 twelve degrees lower than normal. It was also considerably 

 lower than the maximum for the preceding month. The last 

 third of the month was very cloudy and the amount of precipita- 

 tion large, giving a rainfall for the month of more than an inch 

 greater than the normal. Much of the garden planting has had 

 to be done over and aside from the grass, vegetation has made 

 little progress. 



The mean barometer was considerably lower than normal 

 and the range of pressure about the usual amount. The wind 

 movement was more than a thousand miles less than usual, 

 although several moderate gales were registered. The wind was 

 more changeable than usual. 



The mean hourly temperature was more than four degrees 

 below normal. The last frost at the station was early in the 

 month. On the 21st light frost was reported on low land in the 

 vicinity but no damage was noted. 



The mean dew point was about normal but the relative 

 humidity was abnormally high. The large amount of rain has 

 saturated the ground and the danger from forest fires greatly 

 reduced. 



About two-thirds of the days were cloudy and not a single 

 day recorded as clear. A clear day according to our scale being 

 one with eighty per- cent or more of the possible sunshine for 

 that date.
