REMARKS. 



The month was cool and damp ; the temperature and rainfall were 

 both slightly below normal, the mean cloudiness was above nor- 

 mal, thunder and lightning occurred on several dates but no severe 

 storms were noted ; the cool weather and deficiency in precipitation 

 have affected the various crops. The following is furnished by the 

 New England Service : 



June was below normal in both temperature and precipitation in 

 nearly all portions of New England. In eastern Maine the deficiency 

 in precipitation caused a drought to prevail and the hay crop will fall 

 far below the average in consequence. 



At Boston the precipitation was 1.11 in. below normal and the 

 temperature 38 degrees for the month, or an average of about one 

 degree daily. The temperature was above normal on the 1st, 4th, 

 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 1 1th, 15th, 19th, 20th and 21st; it was 

 below on all other dates. The warmest days were the 6th and 20th, 

 with a mean of 82° ; the coolest the 17th when the average was 54*^.
