REMARKS 



The weather during October was the most seasonable and 

 agreeable so far this year. • The amount of sunshine was very 

 large and the last third of the month was free from rain. While 

 the precipitation was considerably more than normal, most of it 

 occurred during a few well defined storms. The storm on the 

 morning of the LSth when nearly two inches fell in less than ten 

 hours was exceptionally heavy for this locality. The barometer 

 was unusually active and several rapid changes were recorded. 

 The low reading on the 20th was quite abnormal. No frost was 

 noted until the 11th, a rather late date for this station. Several 

 gales were registered, a few of moderate intensity. 



The mean barometer was unusually low for this time of year 

 due to a marked depression from the 19th to the 23d. The 

 range of pressure was large for the time of year. The maximum 

 and minimum pressures were both much below their respective 

 normals. 



The mean hourly temperature was more than three degrees 

 higher than usual, and the maximum temperature was ten degrees 

 above the normal for this feature. The maximum temperature 

 was considerably higher than the maximum for either August or 

 September, and only two degrees lower than the maximum for 

 July. The minimum temperature came on the morning of the 

 last day of the month and was about a normal value. 



The mean relative humidity was about ten per cent more than 

 usual owing to the large amount of south wind. The mean dew- 

 point was five degrees above the normal. 



The total precipation was nearly an inch more than usual. 



The total wind movement was about normal. The amount of 

 sunshine was much more than the average and there were but 

 few cloudy days.
