REMARKS. 



The weather during June was slightly cooler than usual and the 

 precipitation considerably less than the normal amount. The small 

 rainfall of the preceding two months combined with that of June 

 shows a deficiency for the period from April ist of more than four 

 inches. The total for the three months is the smallest for the period 

 since 1896 and exceeds the record for 1896 by only about one-fourth 

 of an inch. The records for the other weather elements show only 

 unimportant departures from the normals. 



The mean barometer was slightly lower than usual and the range 

 about ten per cent more than the normal. The record was the more 

 unsteady during the first half of the month. The total wind move- 

 ment was about eighty per cent of the normal and no heavy gales 

 were noted. The changes in the direction of wind were more fre- 

 quent than usual. 



The mean temperature was about one and one-half degrees below 

 the normal and the maximum and minimum were both low. The 

 minimum was the lowest June record since 1891. 



The mean dew point was below the normal and the relative humid- 

 ity unusually high. 



The total precipitation was about seventy per cent of the nor- 

 mal and was fairly well distributed throughout the month, although 

 more than half the total fell during the four days 19th — 22d. 



The only heavy thunder storm occurred on the 13th. The amount 

 of sunshine recorded was slightly more than the normal amount.
