REMARKS 



During the month ideal autumn weather was in evidence al- 

 most the whole time. With only three days showing a measura- 

 ble amount of rainfall and nearly one-half the days recorded as 

 clear, and more than one-third of the days fair, there was but 

 little room left for improvement. The large amount of sunshine, 

 mild temperature and rather low humidity, combined to make 

 weather conditions most agreeable. 



The various weather elements show a number of features of 

 interest when their records are compared with the normals at this 

 station. 



The mean barometer was considerably higher than the normal, 

 and the range of pressure slightly smaller than usual. While the 

 maximum and minimum records were both nearly normal, the 

 interval between the two records was unusually short. The total 

 wind movement was a little more than usual, and several gales of 

 moderate intensity were registered on the pressure chart. The 

 wind direction was more nearly normal than during the last few 

 months. 



The maximum temperature was five degrees higher than the 

 normal and the minimum about two degrees higher, giving a 

 slightly greater range than usual. The mean temperature was 

 slightly above the normal. 



The mean dew point and relative humidity were both nearly 

 normal. 



The total precipitation was practically one inch, making it the 

 dry est month so far this year. Owing, however, to the large pre- 

 cipitation which occurred during the summer, the absence of much 

 rain was not particularly felt.
