REMARKS 



The weather during the month was far from normal in some 

 respects and nearly normal in other features. The first third of 

 the month was rather cool and the most pleasant. The middle 

 third was marked by light precipitation nearly every day and very 

 high humidity. The last third had fewer showers but more than 

 one-half the precipitation occurred during this period. This was 

 due to the heavy rain on the last day of the rnonth. 



An examination of the wind direction shows that for more than 

 one-half the time the wind was practically south and the relative 

 humidity extremely high. A large amount of cloudiness was 

 also recorded. The weather as a whole was much more sultry 

 than usually occurs in August. 



The barometer record presented no unusual features. The 

 temperature was a little lower than normal. The maximum 

 temperature reached ninety degrees on only two days. The 

 minimum temperature was about two degrees lower than usual. 



The mean dew point and relative humidity were the out- 

 standing abnormal features. The mean dew point was about 

 four degrees higher than usual and the mean relative humidity 

 about 15 per cent above the normal and much higher than any 

 previous record at this station. 



The total precipitation was about an inch less than usual. 

 Heavy showers in surrounding towns resulted in only a light rain- 

 fall here, in several instances. 



The total wind movement was rather small and only one gale 

 was registered. 



The amount of cloudiness was large and about two-thirds of 

 the days were recorded as fair.
