REMARKS 



The weather during September was in general seasonable, al- 

 though presenting several marked characteristics. One of the 

 most prominent features was the absence of frost up to the end 

 of the month. On the 20th light frost was noted in some places 

 in the vicinity, but no damage was done. At the station not 

 even a trace was observed. Following the 20th there was much 

 foggy weather and a very high humidity. The highest tempera- 

 tures of the month were registered near the end of the month. 

 On the 30th one of the heaviest rainstorms ever noted at this 

 station occurred, accompanied by a rapid fall of the barometer. 

 The month closed with high wind and rain. 



The mean barometer was rather low and the range considera- 

 bly more than usual. The maximum and minimum pressures 

 were both below their respective normals. The total wind move- 

 ment was practically normal and more variability than usual was 

 noted on the wind direction chart. The only gale recorded was 

 during the storm of the 30th. 



The mean temperature was one and one-half degrees higher 

 than the normal, and both the maximum and minimum tempera- 

 tures were several degrees higher than usual. The mean of maxi- 

 mum and minimum temperatures was considerably higher than 

 the mean hourly temperature, due to the fact that the period of 

 high temperature each day was only a few hours at the most. 



The mean dew point and relative humidity were both consid- 

 erably higher than the normal. 



The total precipitation was nearly twice the normal amount 

 and about one-half of it fell on the last day of the month. The 

 amount of sunshine was large.
