REMARKS 



The weather during September was less pleasant than usual owing 

 to the large number of rainy days. The latter part of the month was 

 comparatively cool, although freezing temperature was not reached 

 at any time, and only a few light frosts were observed. 



The total precipitation was unusually large, and the heavy storm 

 of the 26th — 27th showed a greater rainfall in 24 hours than had 

 been noted for a number of years at this station. The observed 

 cloudiness in the mornings was much greater than the amount noted 

 in the evenings. 



A comparison of the records of the several weather elements with 

 their normals shows the following features of interest : The mean 

 barometer was slightly lower than the normal and the range of pres- 

 sure rather small. Change of pressure was generally slow. The 

 maximum pressure for the month was practically normal, while the 

 minimum was considerably higher than the normal. 



The total wind movement was about the usual value and the wind 

 directions were more variable than usual. Not a single gale was re- 

 corded on the pressure chart. 



The maximum temperature came early in the month, and was not 

 as high as the normal. The minimum temperature was registered on 

 the last day of the month. The mean temperature was about three 

 degrees below the normal, making it one of the coldest Septembers 

 on our record. 



The mean dew point was more than three degrees below the nor- 

 mal and the relative humidity about two points higher than usual, 

 owing to the large amount of rainy weather. 



The precipitation was about 70 per cent more than the normal and 

 was well distributed throughout the month. The heavy downpour 

 near the end of the month has been referred to above. 



The amount of bright sunshine was considerably less than the 

 usual amount.
