REMARKS. 



The weather for September was especially marked by the large 

 number of clear or fair days, and the small precipitation. Ffteen 

 days were recorded as clear and eight as fair and but three were 

 overcast. On but three days was a measurable amount of precipi- 

 tation noted. A high percentage of sunshine and rather small wind 

 movement were other noticeable features. The absence of frosts 

 until near the end of the month was favorable to vegetation, especially 

 the corn crop, but much of it did not ripen even with the favorable 

 weather. 



The rowen crop was good and secured in good condition and the 

 tobacco all harvested without injury from frost. 



A comparison of the records with those of previous years shows 

 the following as the more important features. 



The mean barometer was slightly higher than the normal and the 

 range slightly less than usual. The mean temperature was nearly 

 normal and the range unusually large due to a high maximum and 

 low minimum. The mean temperature was nearly as high as the 

 mean for last month. 



The relative humidity and mean dew point were both less than 

 usual. 



The total precipitation was about four-tenths of the normal and 

 less than any previous record for September at this station. The 

 total wind movement was about ninety per cent, of the normal, and 

 but one gale was noted.
