REMARKS ON THE WEATHER. 1842. 
SEPTEMBER. 
and seen in the dark grayish-blue beyond, with a patch or two of the brightest blue sky ; the sky is 
just seen through the scud in the zenith and to E, ; it is difficult to tell whether there is a bluish- 
gray cloud or only the sky seen through the scud: raining: about this time the ends of a double 
rainbow were seen. 
Scud. 5", Small patches of greenish sky to SSE.: some low patches of scud from SW. : drops 
of rain. 
20%, Thin scud sailing very quickly ; denser near horizon: ragged cirro-cumuli above moving 
very slowly ; sky in zenith. 23"—5». Scud: light rain at 55, 8" 40™. Three different currents 
of air observed at present; the highest carries loose patches of scud from W by S.; the next 
lower, larger and darker masses from NW by W.; and the lowest, thin vapoury patches of scud 
from NNE.; the direction of the wind at the surface is NNE 4 E. (SW. at 5".); the greatest 
mass of clouds is from NW by W.; the upper current is very slow ; in a few minutes the lowest 
current nearly ceased, it was previously the swiftest : quantity of clouds 9-0. 
205, Linear cirri and cirrous haze: thin cirrous nests. 23". Scud, &e. : cirrous haze seen near 
horizon: clouds moving very slowly. 2%. Thick seud. 5%. Scud: other clouds above stationary, 
or nearly so. 
20%. Scud: cirro-cumuli, 23. Loose cumuli and scud; the cumuli moving slowest. 2%. 
Cumuli and scud. 5. Large mixed cirro-cumuli and cumuli: sky on NE. and NW. horizon, on 
the NE. it is light green ; clouds black to SE. 
20%, Linear cirri radiating across the whole sky in feathered masses from the W. point of the 
horizon; on the E. horizon the linear cirri lie N. and S. parallel to the horizon; the feathers of 
cirri extend from W. to 30° from E. 23%, Loose cumuli moving slowly: cirro-strati higher, 
moving much slower: sky in patches: detached cumuli and cirrous haze on EK. horizon. 2. Loose 
cumuli: cirrous haze and cirro-strati seen above stationary : sky in detached patches. 5. Thick 
cirrous haze, through which the sun scarcely projects a shadow: thick banks of dark clouds here 
and there: the clouds have a perceptible motion from 8. by E.: stormy-looking. 
20"—23), Scud: light rain. 2. Scud; the sun’s rays penetrating some openings. 6. Loose 
cumuli and scud: linear cirri and cumuli above. 
20", Scud: homogeneous: light drizzle. 235. Scud. 2. Scud: cirro-cumuli: cirro-strati, 
like sheets of white paper to E.: dense cumuli round horizon. 5, Detached masses of scud or 
loose cumuli : pinnacled cumuli and other clouds above moving much slower: cirro-strati on horizon : 
very black to NW. 
20%, Thin seud: cirro-cumuli above. 23%, Scud: cumuli, &c. above. 2%, Scud and cumuli : 
cirri like flames, radiating towards NW. and W. 5», Scud and loose cumuli: cirro-cumuli above, 
moving very slowly. 
20", Scud: cirrous haze near S. horizon; a few minutes before this the sky was overcast ; 
clearing off rapidly from W. : thick and dull to E. : wind rising : in a few minutes the sky was again 
quite overcast, 23", Scud: sky on NW. and NE, horizon, where cumuli are rising. 2". Cumuli : 
cirrous haze on S. horizon. 5". Cumuli to W.: fine linear cirri, like pencils of the finest hairs, 
the root being to E., pointing E. and W., and reaching over 75° in length from E. to past the 
zenith ; they are visible over the whole sky, lying quite parallel to each other, and apparently 
springing from a kind of reticulated cirrus, which forms a portion of the circumference of a circle, 
whose centre is in the E. and radius 20°; the roots of the cirri appear to move on this circum- 
ference, the cirri apparently describing a greater circle : cumuli moving slowly. 
204, Very thick; appearing to radiate from N. and §.: cirro-cumuli in the zenith, and thick 
cirro-strati to E. 23%, Nearly homogeneous: some small patches of scud. 2*—5>. Large dif- 
fuse cirro-cumuli: specks of sky here and there: the sun’s rays through the interstices of the 
cirro-cumuli project a faint shadow. 
20"—23h. Scud: nearly homogeneous: patches of sky at 20%. 2. A strip of sky on NE. 
horizon. 5%, Patches of sky to SE. and §.: cumuli on ESE. horizon. 
20". Thick mist, rendering trees invisible } of a mile distant: large loose cirro-cumuli. 
23". Cumuli and large cirro-cumuli; cumuli lower and moving quicker than the cirro-cumuli. 
2h, Loose-edged cumuli: sky in patches. 5%. Very large cirro-cumuli: very black to NNW: 
sky seen between the cirro-cumuli. 
20". Cirro-cumulous scud: different kinds of cirro-cumuli above: linear cirri still higher. 
23", Cirrous haze: scud and cumuli: linear cirri to E. with small patches of cirro-cumuli: the
