REMARKS 



The weather during the month was rather gloomy on the whole, 

 and rainstorms were quite numerous. While most of the storms 

 were small, the two storms early in the month were unusually heavy, 

 and over three-fourths of the total precipitation occurred during the 

 first third of the month. There was considerable cloudiness without 

 precipitation, so that the total cloudiness was rather high. Only a 

 few light frosts were noted, and practically no damage resulted. At 

 the close of the month the transition to Autumn was practically 

 complete. 



A comparison of the records of the several weather elements with 

 their respective normals shows the following features of interest; 

 The mean barometer was slightly lower than the norntal, while 

 the range of pressure was nearly the usual amount. The 

 maximum and minimum pressures were both lower than their nor- 

 mals. The total wind movement was slightly less than usual, and 

 no gales were recorded. The percentage of south wind was large. 



The mean hourly temperature varied but little from the normal, 

 and the minimum temperature was not quite as low as usual. The 

 mean hourly temperature on the 9th was 21 degrees lower than on 

 the 8th — an exceptionally rapid change. 



The mean dew point was higher than the normal and the relative 

 humidity unusually high. 



The total precipitation was but little greater than the average 

 value, and has been commented on above.
