REMARKS 



The weather for September was nearly normal in most respects 

 giving a marked contrast with that of July and August. High 

 humidity and much South wind however were much in evidence. 

 Many foggy mornings were noted which made the relative hu- 

 midity very high. Precipitation occurred on comparatively few 

 days although two storms were very heavy. There was very 

 little thunder and lightning in marked contrast with the preced- 

 ing two months. No frost was noted at the station although 

 frost on low ground in the vicinity was reported on several dates. 



The records of the several weather elements show the follow- 

 ing features of interest : The mean barometer was a very little 

 lower than usual and the range of pressure about ten per cent 

 more than normal. 



The mean temperature was nearly normal and the maximum 

 temperature, while more than two degrees less than usual, was 

 higher than the August maximum. The minimum temperature 

 was about two degrees higher than the average value for 

 September. 



The mean dew-point was nearly norm.al and the relative humid- 

 ity about ten per cent more than the average value. 



The total precipitation was about seventy per cent of the 

 normal and more than one-half of it occurred during the heavy 

 storm of the 19th. 



The total wind movement was about three-fourths of the usual 

 amount and the prevailing direction very unusual for this 

 station. 



The amount of sunshine was large and the cloudy days com- 

 paratively few.
