REMARKS. 



The conditions prevailing during the month have been most dis- 

 appointing and the weather as a whole has been extremely disagree- 

 able. An excess of rain and a temperature below the normal com- 

 bined, have made a very unsatisfactory record compared with that 

 of previous years. 



The records show that the barometric pressure was about normal 

 and the range rather small. The temperature was nearly three 

 degrees below the normal, with the lowest maximum for the month 

 in our records here. 



The rainfall was about 40 per cent, above the normal, and the 

 relative humidity unusually high. From the 23d to the 29th inclu- 

 sive rain fell every day. The sky was overcast nearly the whole 

 period, but three hours of sunshine being recorded during that period. 



The season which was fully two weeks ahead of normal conditions 

 at the beginning of April is now nearly a like amount backward. 

 Most crops have made only a slow progress during the month, 

 although grass is looking unusually well. Fair and warmer weather 

 is much needed during June for satisfactory progress with most 

 crops.
