REMARKS 



The weather during the month resembled that of June, last year, 

 in many respects. An unusually small precipitation, low relative 

 humidity and large amount of sunshine, were all much the same as a 

 year ago. The last third of the month was practically without rain. 

 The last half of the month was considerably warmer than the first 

 half. 



A comparison of the records for the month of the several weather 

 elements with the normal values shows the following as the more 

 important features : The mean barometer was high for the time of 

 year and the range more than the average value. Fluctuations in 

 pressure were generally small and unimportant. \\ hile the total 

 wind movement was slightly greater than the normal no gales were 

 noted and no especially large daily wind movement recorded. Much 

 of the wind was from the northwest quadrant. 



The mean temperature was slightly greater than the normal while 

 the maximum record was about the average value for this feature. 

 The maximum was about two degrees below the normal giving a 

 slightly greater range than usual. On the loth the minimum record 

 of 37 degrees was very close to the frost line but no frost was noted 

 at the station. 



The mean dew point and relative humidity were both rather low, 

 owing to the dry conditions prevailing. 



The total precipitation was practically one-fourth the normal and 

 more than one-half of it occurred on a single date. Only one thun- 

 der shower was noted. Vegetation was much in need of rain at the 

 close of the month. The amount of sunshine was much greater 

 than the normal and but two cloudy days were noted.
