REMARKS 



The weather during June was much nearer normal than that of 

 the preceding month and furnished but few features of special in- 

 terest. The backwardness of the season which was so pro- 

 nounced at the beginning of the month was much less noticeable 

 when the month closed, although some maturing crops were still 

 more than two weeks behind their normal progress. The 

 precipitation was much greater than usual and the range of tem- 

 perature unusually small. 



A comparison of the records of the several weather elements 

 with the normals of our twenty-five year summary, shows the 

 following features of more or less interest : The mean barometer 

 was slightly higher than the normal and the range unusually 

 small. Owing to the steady pressure of the atmosphere the wind 

 movement was but little more than one-half the usual amount 

 and but a single gale was recorded on the pressure chart. 



The mean temperature was practically normal, and the range 

 the smallest of any June on our records. The maximum temper- 

 ature was about three degrees lower than normal and the mini- 

 mum was more than ten degrees higher than usual, making it our 

 highest June minimum. 



The mean dew point was practically normal and the relative 

 humidity a few points higher than usual. 



The total precipitation was more than sixty per cent above the 

 normal and was well distributed, — a measurable amount occur- 

 ring on more than half the days of the month. 



The amount of sunshine was slightly less than normal.
