REMARKS 



The effect of the weather during June on growing crops was some- 

 what disappointing. While the amount of sunshine was ample, the 

 temperature was considerably below the normal. The first three 

 days were the warmest of the month, and the last third of the month 

 was the coolest period. The month was too dry for vegetation up to 

 the 2 2d when a very heavy rainfall was recorded, which materially 

 improved the moisture in the soil. 



A summary of the various weather features shows the following 

 features of more or less interest : The mean barometer was below the 

 normal and the range of pressure was larger than usual. Although 

 there were two periods of low barometer, the total wind movement 

 was but little more than the normal and not a single gale was regis- 

 tered on the wind pressure chart. Most of the wind was from the 

 westerly points of the compass. 



The mean temperature was three degrees below the normal, and 

 only four days had a mean hourly temperature above 70 degrees. 

 The maximum temperature was slightly higher than the normal and 

 occurred on the first day of the month. The minimum temperature 

 was practically normal and no frost was noted at this station. The 

 minimum thermometer however registered below 50 degrees on 

 nearly one half the days of the month. 



The mean dew point was more than three degrees lower than usual, 

 and the relative humidity was practically normal. 



The total precipitation was nearly one-fourth more than usual, due 

 to the storm of the 22d. The other rains of the month were mostly of 

 but small amounts. 



The amount of cloudiness was less than usual.
