REMARKS 



The weather during July was marked by an unusually high 

 humidity and large rainfall. The unusually large percentage of 

 wind from the South caused many oppressive, sultry days and 

 frequent rains, some with unusually large precipitation. The 

 total rainfall was more than fifty per cent above the normal. 

 The disagreeable character of the weather was prevalent during 

 the whole month. 



The records of the several weather elements show the following 

 features of interest. The mean barometer was practically nor- 

 mal and the range of pressure slightly larger than usual. The 

 total wind movement was considerably less than the normal, and 

 there were no daily records of any considerable size. Only two 

 gales were noted, and both were of moderate intensity and short 

 duration. South or South Southwest wind was recorded more than 

 one-half the days of the month, the remaining days being divided 

 among most of the other directions. 



The mean temperature was about one degree above the normal, 

 while the maximum and minimum were near the usual values. 

 The large amount of cloudiness should be considered with the 

 temperature record in judging the general oppressiveness. 



The mean dew point was practically normal, while the relative 

 humidity was more than eight points above the normal, showing 

 the highest humidity for July in ten years. 



The total precipitation was two and one-half inches more than 

 the normal, and was well distributed throughout the month. 



Only one clear day was noted.
