REMARKS 



The most noticeable feature of the weather during the month 

 was the general absence of high temperatures. The maximum 

 temperature was well below 90 degrees, and on more than one- 

 third of the days the maximum did not reach 80 degrees, — a very 

 unusual record for July. There were several cool periods of about 

 three days' duration, notably the 3d-5th, the 16th-18th and 

 the 25th-27th. During this last period the minimum of the 

 month was reached. Another feature was the rather small pre- 

 cipitation, although there was a large number of thunder storms. 



The records of the several weather elements, when compared 

 with their respective normals, show the following features of in- 

 terest : The mean barometer was practically normal and the 

 range about the usual value. The maximum and minimum pres- 

 sures were both slightly higher than their normals. The total 

 wind movement was a little more than usual, and only one gale 

 was recorded. During more than one-half the time the wind was 

 from the South or South Southwest,— a rather unusual record 

 here. 



The mean temperature was more than two degrees lower than 

 usual, and the maximum temperature was more than six degrees 

 below the normal record for this feature. The minimum tem- 

 perature was practically normal. 



The mean dew point was practically normal and the relative 

 humidity several points higher than usual, owing to the generally 

 low temperature record. 



The total precipitation was less than one-half the normal and 

 was well distributed throughout the month. 



The amount of sunshine recorded was greatly in excess of the 

 normal.
