REMARKS 



While the records of the several weather elements show no 

 very abnormal features, the weather as a whole was far from 

 normal. The humidity, temperature and cloudiness conspired to 

 make the month more or less unpleasant. The temperature rose 

 above eighty degrees on only four days and the mean hourly 

 temperature was below sixty degrees on one third of the days. 

 The last third of the month was very cloudy and rainy although 

 the total rainfall was not large. 



The barometer records were generally about normal and 

 fluctuations of pressure were generally small and unimportant. 

 As a result of the sluggish barometer the wind movement was a 

 little less than normal. Several gales were recorded, due to shift- 

 ing of wind direction in several cases. The wind direction was 

 quite variable. 



The mean temperature was nearly four degrees lower than 

 usual and the maximum failed to reach ninety degrees. The 

 minimum temperature was about two degrees below the normal 

 for this feature and light frost was reported on low lands in this 

 vicinity on the 2d and 16th. 



Considerable hail fell for a short time on the 15th about noon 

 but as there was but little wind at the time no damage resulted. 



The total precipitation was slightly more than normal and 

 much of it fell during rather light showers the last part of the 

 month. 



The mean relative humidity was very high for the time of 

 year. The mean dew point was practically normal. 



The amount of sunshine was much less than usual and nearly 

 one half the days were cloudy.
