REMARKS. 



The weather during the month was pleasant although there was 

 a number of unusually cool days. The most noticeable features 

 were the small precipitation and large wind movement. The hours 

 of sunshine were also considerably more than usual. 



The barometric record presented no unusual features. The 

 mean pressure for the month, the range and the extreme records 

 were all practically normal. 



The mean temperature was but slightly less than the normal 

 while the maximum was 4 degrees below the normal and the mini- 

 mum 2 degrees higher than usual, giving a comparatively small 

 range. While the temperature at the station did not fall below the 

 freezing point, traces of ice were reported the morning of the 2nd, 

 and light frosts on the 21st, 22nd and 24th. On the last date some 

 little damage was reported from the low places in this vicinity. 



The total precipitation was only one-third the normal amount 

 and one-half the amount recorded during April. The small precipi- 

 tation of the last two months has left the ground very dry and vege- 

 tation is beginning to suffer. 



The total wind movement was considerably more than the nor- 

 mal and the direction more changeable than usual. Several moder- 

 ate gales were noted while the maximum pressure was much less 

 than the average. The mean relative humidity was slightly higher 

 than the normal.
