REMARKS ON THE WEATHER. 1842. 123 
JULY. 
cumuli, but the greater part of the sky is covered by scud and cumuli. 8 40™. Seven-tenths of 
the sky covered with dark heavy clouds like nimbi (but. no rain), moving from ESE., while in the 
higher strata are cirro-cumuli and linear cirri stationary ; the cirrus becomes like thick cobwebs to 
h W., while it is quite black to S.: scud below, which appears to move quickest : wind increasing. 
5. 20%. Scud. 23". Scud, clouds very thick: wind more in gusts. 2. Scud moving rapidly from 
ENE. : cirro-cumuli above moving slowly in the same direction. 5°. Scud: occasional patches of 
sky. 
5. 205. Light mist, tendency to drizzle. 23*—5*. Clouds moving from NE. 65%, Light drizzle. 
23. 11%. Breaking to N., where there are considerable patches of sky. 17%. Cirro-cumuli, 184. 
Cirro-cumuli and linear cirri, 19". Loose cumuli anda few linear cirri to N. 20, Cumuli: 
haze on SE. horizon. 23", Loose cumuli moving from N by E., and another current from ENE., 
a few cirro-cumuli above, apparently stationary. 
10. 02. Loose cumuli. 3%. Cumuli and scud, some with cirrous fringes; one current carries 
clouds from N by E., and another from NNW. 4". Loose Cumuli. 9". From N. to SE., one 
thick pile of cragey cumuli, lighted by the setting sun, giving all the appearance of snowy Alps 
tinted by his glowing rays. 10%. Large mass of loose cumuli moving from about NNE. 
5. 205. A mass of loose cumuli: sky to NW. 23%. Loose cumuli: sky principally to NW. 
2h Loose cumuli, better defined than before. 5". Detached cumuli to SE. 
5. 20". Undefinable mass. 23". Clear, 2. A few specks of cumulito SE.and N. 5". Detached 
cumuli to S. and N. 
5. 20%, Flaky cumuli. 23%. Cumuli: patches of hazy sky. 2%. Cumuli: sky hazy. 5". Cumuli, &c., 
hazy. 
5. 20%. Loose cumuli on horizon: large cirro-cumuli above and in zenith: clouds breaking, 
23%. Heavy dark cumuli looking electric to SE.: upper clouds moving very slowly from about 
NNE. ; lower current rather quicker from SSE. 2. Heavy black cumuli from about SE.: upper 
current from W.: white towering masses of cumuli: a few drops of rain. 5%. Cumuli and cirro- 
cumuli, the latter principally to E.: light shower since last observation. 
5. 205. Loose cumuli and cirro-cumuli: linear and other cirri and cirrous haze to N. 28". Very 
like an approaching storm: a mixture of cirri and cirrous haze: loose and well defined cumuli ; 
the cumuli are seen as if at rest in the bluish gray mass to E. and W.; the sky has altogether an 
indescribable appearance. 5. Nimbi and more heavy black cumuli: rain to E.: scud creeping up 
slowly from W.: cumuli and cirri to N.: wind just sprung up: a patch of sky to N. 
5. 205. A sort of blackish-blue mixture, in some places like cedar branches: a few cumuli seen: a 
few drops of rain: scud lowest, moving from about NNW. 23, Nearly as before: more long 
strings of loose cumuli floating from W.: clouds to NE. lying in all directions: occasional patches 
of sky. 2". More muddled than before. 5%. Cumuli principally to E.: patches of cirrous haze 
or cirro-stratus edged with cirri: looking stormy to E.: at 4" the clouds moving from E., and a 
smart shower of rain. 
7. 20%. Loose cumuli, quantity variable. 23>, Heavy loose cumuli: linear cirri above: breaking 
to N. 2%, Cumuli: linear and woolly cirri above, both moving from N. 5". Ragged edged 
cumuli: cumulo-stratito N. 6"45™, Quantity of clouds 5-5: a kind of cirro-cumulous cirri ; the 
cirri are all matted and frizzled, moving from N., but having a sort of lee-way from E.: a lower 
current from W. carries a mass of smoky cirrous scud, which appears to have a lee-way to S. : masses 
of cirro-strati rising from SW. : on the NE. and SE. horizon are beautiful cumuli and cumulo-strati. 
5. 20". Three-tenths of cumuli to E,: four-tenths of fine cirri in zenith and to W.: a few cirri to 
SW., apparently moving from W., the other clouds moving from N. 23", Rather loose-edged 
cumuli. 2. As before: a kind of snowy cirri above: sky in patches. 5%. As before: patches of 
cirrous haze: very thick in zenith and to S.: sky principally on E. horizon, some to N. 
28, 20. Linear cirrito N.and E. 235. Cumuli and linear cirri on horizon : small patches of loose 
cumuli moving from SSW. across the zenith. 
AUGUST. 
1 2—1 5. 28, Cumuli principally to E. and S., but moving across the zenith from SW. 5®. Cumuli nearly 
as before,
