REMARKS 



The weather during June presented a marked contrast with that 

 of the preceding month. The precipitation was unusually small and 

 the only rainfall of any amount occurred near the end of the month. 

 For more than a month from the 2 2d of May the precipitation was 

 practically negligible as far as its effect on growing crops was con- 

 cerned. A moderate storm on June 26th — 27th furnished some re- 

 lief, but rain was greatly needed when the month closed. 



The early part of the month was marked by a period of high tem- 

 perature — in fact, the first seven days were the hottest part of the 

 month. The month as a whole was considerably warmer than 

 usual. 



The records of the several weather elements show the following 

 features of interest: The mean barometer was exceptionally high 

 for the time of year. Only six days show a mean pressure below 30 

 inches. The range of pressure was practically normal, and the max- 

 imum and minimum were both considerably above the normal. The 

 total wind movement was slightly less than the normal, and no gales 

 were registered. Most of the wind was from the southwest quad- 

 rant. 



The mean temperature was about two and one-half degrees higher 

 than usual, and the maximum reading was over 100 degrees for the 

 first time in June at this station. The minimum temperature was 

 about a degree above the normal. While a few cool nights were 

 noted there was no approach to frost at this station. 



The mean dew point and relative humidity were both slightly 

 higher than their normal values. 



The precipitation was about one-third of the normal amount and 

 nearly all of it occurred in a single storm. 



The amount of sunshine was much greater than usual and only 

 four days were classed as cloudy.
