REMARKS 



The weather during June was more nearly normal than for some 

 months past, although having some unusual features. The temper- 

 ature was a little lower than usual and high temperatures were not 

 registered. Some unusually heavy rain-storms occurred and the per- 

 cipitation was very large. The ground in many places is excessively 

 wetand growing crops have not made good progress. The last week 

 of the month was good summer weather. 



The records of the several weather elements show the following 

 features of interest : The mean barometer was practically normal and 

 the range about the usual amount. The total wind movement was 

 small and not a single gale was recorded. The wind direction was 

 rather variable and an unusually large amount was from the South. 



The mean temperature was slightly lower than the normal and 

 the range was very small. This was due to a rather low maximum 

 and a minimum more than five degrees higher than usual. Two 

 periods of low temperature were noted ; the first covering the time 

 from the 4th to the 8th, and the second extending from the i6th to 

 the 22d. 



The mean dew point was practically normal and the relative 

 humidity about 5 per cent higher than usual. 



The total precipitation was nearly twice the normal for June and 

 practically one-half of it fell during a rainy period about the middle 

 of the month. On the 29th a very heavy thunder shower with some 

 hail and shifting wind occurred and more than an inch of rain fell in 

 about an hour. 



The amount of sunshine was slightly less than the normal.
