REMARKS 



The weather during the month was very much like that of the 

 preceding month. A very large percentage of wind from the 

 South, a very high relative humidity and the absence of high 

 temperature were the most noticeable characteristics. The pre- 

 cipitation however was much larger, although the number of 

 thunder storms was much smaller. There were several moderate 

 rainstorms without thunder and lightning. There were but few 

 clear days and a comparatively large number of cloudy daj^s. 



The mean barometer was practically normal and the range of 

 pressure a little less than usual. 



The mean hourly temperature was more than three degrees be- 

 low the normal, and five degrees lower than that of July. The 

 maximum temperature for the month was about eight degrees 

 less than the average and the daily maximum rose above eighty 

 degrees on less than one-third the days. The minimum temper- 

 ature was slightly higher than usual, giving a very small range 

 for the month. The minimum temperature fell below fift}^ de- 

 grees on eight days. On the 18th the highest temperature was 

 considerably below sixty degrees. 



The mean dew point was practically normal and the relative 

 humidity more than ten per cent above the average, although 

 slightly lower than for July. 



The total precipitation was nearly an inch more than normal 

 and fifty per cent more than during July. 



The total wind movement was about five hundred miles less 

 than usual and there were no gales recorded. 



The amount of sunshine was about thirty hours less than 

 normal.
