REMARKS. 



More than the usual amount of gloomy and unseasonable weather 

 was noted during June. Much cloudiness and rather low tempera- 

 ture were the most noticeable features, especially during the latter 

 part of the month. 



A comparison of the records with those of previous years shows 

 the following interesting features : the mean barometer was about 

 one-tenth of an inch lower than any previous June record, and lower 

 than a7iy of our monthly means excepting that for February, igoi. 

 The range was unusually large and the fluctuations generally large 

 and slow. The total wind movement was more than the normal and 

 gales more frequent than usual at this time of year. The large 

 amount of wind from the northwest quadrant during the last week 

 was especially noticeable. 



The mean temperature was three degrees below the normal, giving 

 the coldest June on our records excepting only in 1897. The maxi- 

 mum temperature was low and the range small ; the minimum was 

 about normal. The mean dew point was about four degrees lower 

 than usual and the relative humidity normal. 



The total precipitation was about half an inch above the normal 

 and well distributed throughout the month. The only large rainfall 

 occurred on the i6th. The amount of cloudiness was fully ten per 

 cent more than normal. 



The hay crop is fair in this section. Corn and tobacco are 

 backward on account of the cold weather. Apples and peaches 

 are doing well and a good crop expected. The strawberry crop was 

 light owing to unfavorable weather.
