REMARKS. 



The weather duruig the month was generally pleasant, and the 

 various weather elements more nearly normal than for some months 

 past. The first killing frost of the season was noted on the loth, 

 and heavy frosts were frequent after that date. Thin ice was formed 

 on the 22d and 30th, and a trace of snow noted on the 29th. 

 Although the mean temperature was but slightly above the normal, 

 during the daytime the month seemed milder than usual. 



The mean barometer was nearly normal and the range was un- 

 usually large. The fluctuations of pressure were larger than usual 

 especially during the last week. On the 26th at 7 a. m. the maxi. 

 mum of the month was noted. A rather steady fall followed until 

 3 p. M. on the 28th, when the minimum was reached. The rise was 

 even more rapid than the fall and by 9 a. m. on the 30th the recov- 

 ery was nearly complete. During the latter part of the fall an un- 

 usually heavy rainfall occurred giving over three inches precipita- 

 tion in twelve hours. The total wind movement was about twenty 

 per cent, more than usual, the last week being especially windy. 



While the mean temperature was nearly normal the mean dew 

 point and relative humidity were both rather low. 



The total precipitation was nearly fifty per cent, more than normal 

 owing to the heavy storm referred to above. The amount of cloudi- 

 ness was nearly normal.
