REMARKS 



The weather during the month was considerably cooler than 

 usual and the backward condition of the season which was noted 

 at the beginning of the month was not materially changed. De- 

 ficiency in sunshine, combined with relatively low temperatures, 

 materially retarded the season's progress. 



The records of the various weather elements show the following 

 features of interest : The mean barometer was the lowest for fif- 

 teen years and the range more than twenty per cent greater than 

 usual. Notwithstanding the rather large fluctuations in pressure 

 the total wind movement was only about the normal amount. 

 Winds from the southwest quadrant predominated. 



The mean hourly temperature was slightly below the normal. 

 The range of temperature was unusually small, due to a low max- 

 imum and a high minimum. The maximum reading was more 

 than five degrees lower than usual and the minimum was a like 

 amount higher than usual. Owing to the high minimum records 

 there was no frost excepting on a single date and that was scarcely 

 more than a trace. 



The mean dew point was slightly lower than usual, while the 

 relative humidity was nearly normal. 



The total precipitation was about half an inch less than the 

 normal. There was one heavy rainfall about the middle of the 

 month, when sixty per cent of the total for the month was re- 

 corded. 



The amount of bright sunshine was about eighty per cent of 

 the nomial.
