REMARKS 



The weather during the month was marked by high humidity, 

 numerovis small showers and a rather high temperature. While 

 the wind movement was small it came from near the South point 

 of the compass for an unusually large part of the time. The days 

 seemed to be less cloudy than the nights. 



A comparison of the records of the several weather elements 

 with their respective normals shows the following interesting fea- 

 tures : The mean barometer was considerably higher than the 

 normal and the range slightly more than usual. Changes in 

 barometric pressure were as a rule rather slow and unimportant. 

 The total wind movement was about ten per cent less than nor- 

 mal, and only one gale was recorded. 



The mean temperature was about two degrees higher than the 

 normal and the mean of the maximum and minimum tempera- 

 tures considerably higher than the mean hourly. This was due 

 to the fact that the period of high temperature during the day was 

 usually rather short. The maximum and minimum tempera- 

 tures were both higher than their respective normals. 



The highest temperature of the year so far was recorded on 

 the 8th. The range of temperature for the month was smaller 

 than usual. 



The mean dew point was more than three degrees higher than 

 usual and the relative htimidity was more than seven points 

 above the normal. 



The total precipitation was about one-half inch less than the 

 normal. The only heavy rainstorm was that of the 10th — 11th. 



The amount of sunshine was large and only a few days were 

 classed as cloudy.
