June 181 2h4h, Great piles of electric cumuli; masses of black scud and cumuli; uniform to E. ; very hazy ; distant thunder heard first at 15 50™, many 
peals since ; three flashes of lightning from 14 55™ till 2h 0™ to E. from horizon to altitude 5°, followed by irregular and rather faint peals. At 2 30™,a 
streak to SE., thunder in 308. 2 55™, There has been a continuous intermitting grumbling to E. and SE. since 2h; thunder has now commenced to SW. and 
W., three flashes seen to SW., altitude 5°, thunder following in about 25°. From this time there was an uninterrupted thundering, sometimes 3 or 4 flashes 
and peals in a minute; the flashes were generally from the horizon to an altitude of 7° or 8°, interval 208 to 25° ; about 3h 25™, the thunder had come nearer, 
the intervals being 75 to 95, and the flashes reaching an altitude of from 20° to 30°, many of the streaks seeming to be repeated four or five times. 3h 25m, Gusts 
of wind from about W., large drops of rain, clouds moving from N.; 30™,a streak reaching from SW. to WNW. at an altitude of 20°, interval 108 ; 30™—40™, 
thunder chiefly to NW., the peals not so very frequent ; 48™, two very loud peals in rapid succession, intervals 345 and 145, large hailstones, with heavy rain. 
8h 45™ to 46 0m, Occasional flashes, with thunder in about 125; very heavy rain. 450™, Clouds beginning to clear off from SW., rain ceased at 4h10™; a 
sharp peal was heard at 4 15™; very distant peals were heard occasionally afterwards ; during the storm the temperature fell to 60°:5. 
June 191 4h, About 3h it was very black to N., and a good deal of rather distant thunder was heard from that quarter, with wind, which lowered the tempe- 
rature about 8°; the thunder worked round by E. to SE., where it now is, but rather distant; dark-looking all round the horizon ; sky in zenith.
