REMARKS ON THE WEATHER. 1842. 131 
NOVEMBER. 
a cirrous cloud, which it is difficult to distinguish from sky. 23". Cirrous clouds: fine cirro- 
eumuli: thick cirrous haze, having cumulous'heads to E.: the sun’s rays project a faint shadow on 
paper. 2", Cumulo-strati over two-tenths of sky: cumuli: linear and mottled cirri and cirrous 
haze: cirrous haze on E. horizon ; its formation of linear cirri becoming evident at about 15° alti- 
tude. 5. Cumulous scud : cumulo-strati and cirro-strati to E., with a bluish-black cirrous haze : 
beautiful ranges of cumulo-strati about an hour ago: sky hazy. 
205—2h. Light rain : clouds moving rapidly : wind settling at 2": calm at 35. 5. Cumulous 
scud : sky to 8. hazy: a patch of red to N.: nearly calm, but occasionally gusts. 
205. Linear cirri to SE. : a little hoar-frost on the ground, 235. Fine cirro-cumuli and linear 
cirri; the linear cirri so fine as almost to be haze, occupying about 23 tenths of sky to S.; the cirro- 
cumuli lowest and moving slowly : a mass of cirro-cumulito NW. 25. Cirrous haze: scud below. 
5. Thick cirrous haze. 
20%. Light rain: very thick and dark. 2352, Scud: breaking up a little, and a slight 
shower at 2", 55. Clouds nearly homogeneous : a little foggy. 
20, The clouds have rather a broken appearance, moving very slowly : light mist. 23°. Clouds 
broken, and rather cirro-cumulous; motion very slow. 2. Scud, like cedar branches: cirro-cumuli 
seen above with cirrous haze: wind rising. 5%. Scud: cirro-cumuli above. 
205. Loose cirro-cumuli: cumuli on NE. horizon : cirro-strati to N.: slight cirrous haze: sky 
red to W. 235. Large loose cirro-cumuli: cumulo-strati on E. horizon: snow on the Cheviots. 
2h, A fine range of cumulo-strati on E. horizon: a few small cumuli and linear cirri to S. 5". 
Linear cirri, becoming haze, radiating from W., and apparently covering the whole sky, as the por- 
tion considered sky is whitish ; the moon has a corona of the breadth of its own diameter round it : 
cumuli on E. horizon, where the haze is bluish-black. 
20". Scud and loose cumulo-strati ; cirro-cumuli above: the scud creeps along the 8. horizon : 
most beautiful and small cirro-cumuli seen at 225, lying in strata from E. to W. 235. Cirro-cumuli, 
but not so fine and distinct as before : loose cumuli moving quickly, much lower than the cirro- 
cumuli: snowing to E. and N.: some of the fine cirro-cumuli like foam zigzagged. 25. Cumulo- 
strati and scud: woolly cirri above, reaching from SE. to WNW., and moving very slowly : cumulo- 
stration N. and E. horizon ; much of the cirri flamed and linear, some of it mottled: snow twice 
or thrice since last observation ; very mealy, and not coherent. 5". Mottled and loose cirrous clouds : 
scud : below the cirrous clouds are others like scud swept with a broom, radiating from WSW. in 
large pencils; it looks very strange; these clouds seem as if blown from the WSW., and seem 
to spread or move from it. 
204. Send, &c., moving very slowly. 234. Scud: cirrous haze or fine linear cirri over two- 
tenths of the sky: snow on Cheviots, and clouds resting on their tops. 2". Almost as before: a 
few more patches of pure sky: the wind rose at 235 30™: blowing from ENE. 52. As before ; 
wind in gusts. 
205. A bloated mass: snow on Cheviots. 23". As before: the clouds opening a little, having 
a sort of cirro-cumulous disposition : small patches of sky: motion of clouds very slow. 2". Loose 
cirro-cumulous cumuli: cirri. 5%. As at 23". 
20%. Cirro-cumuli, which lie in ranges from NNW. to SSE., moving from about WNW. : cirro- 
strati to E.: the sky almost covered with cirrous haze. 23%. Scud, covering nearly the S. half of 
the sky; above it fine linear cirri, covering nearly the whole sky, radiating from NW. ; some 
patches of cirro-cumuli still remain, the cirri becoming haze in many places: wind rising. 2%. 
Nearly as before; three-tenths of scud, the rest cirrous haze, and a sort of mottled cirri. 5". Nearly 
all scud, although the sky is covered with a slight cirrous haze ; Jupiter is seen through an opening 
in the clouds at an altitude of about 10°. 
204. Thick mist: light sprinkling of snow on the ground: mist falling like the finest light rain. 
23%, A kind of haze or .hazy cloud: not the slightest breath of wind. 2. Loose cumuli and 
cumulo-strati: some mottled cirri above: cumuli on horizon: the air remarkably humid: every 
thing covered with moisture : the atmosphere not very transparent. 5%. Heavy black cumuli and 
scud : some cumuli very low: a few patches of sky: the sky has a strange appearance. 
205. Scud: pinnacled cumuli on NE. horizon : a few minutes ago the sky was quite overcast. 
234, Loose and well-defined cumuli: fine linear cirri becoming haze: rain or snow to SE, 24. 
Cirrous haze or linear cirri, covering the greater part of the sky, lying in strata to S. from ENE. 
to WSW: fine pinnacled cumulo-strati on horizon from N. to SE.: snow on Cheviots. 5%. As
