REMARKS 



The weather during September was considerably warmer than 

 usual, due largely to a number of extremely warm days about the 

 middle of the month. The highest temperature of the year was reg- 

 istered on the 15th, during a period of high humidity, and caused an 

 unusually large number of prostrations from heat. The last part of 

 the month, while seasonable, was rather cool. The precipitation was 

 small, but owing to the extremely heavy rainfall of the preceding two 

 months vegetation did not suffer. 



The mean barometer was slightly below the normal and the range 

 considerably more than usual owing to a minimum considerably 

 lower than usual. The large number of days with wind from the 

 South was exceptional for this station. While the total wind move- 

 ment was nearly normal, several days near the close of the month 

 showed a large daily record. 



The mean hourly temperature was more than three degrees higher 

 than the normal, and the mean of means of maximum and minimum 

 records was nearly two degrees higher than the mean hourly records 

 — an exceptionally large difference. 



The maximum temperature was about six degrees higher than the 

 September normal for this feature, and two degrees more than the 

 previous maximum for this year. The minimum was slightly higher 

 than usual, giving a large range for the month. Light frosts were 

 noted near the end of the mouth, but no damage of consequence was 

 done. 



The mean dew point and relative humidity were both much higher 

 than their respective normals. 



The total precipitation was about one-third of the normal, and 

 much the greater part was registered during a single storm. 



The amount of sunshine was slightly less than the normal.
