Meteorological Olservations made at Clapton from the 9th to 
the 20th of June 1814. 
Since the date of my last observations I have not kept regular 
accounts of the weather till the 9th of June: the weather in the 
interval was chiefly cold, the Ao crenaen: winds easterly, and a 
great deal of cloudiness. 
June 9.—Easterly wind; clear sky, and hot in the sun, with 
cirrus, &e. 
June \0.—Clear and cloudy by intervals; air warmer. 
June 11.—Fair day; various clouds. Easterly wind, and a 
breeze. . 
June 12.—Cloudiness and rain in the morning; fair after- 
noon. Wind southward. 
June 13.—Much warmer, with gentle showers. 
June 14.—Very hot day. Thermometer 84° in the shade 
much cirrus, cumulostratus, aud that dense white feature of 
cirrocumulus which precedes storms. I predicted from it the 
storms of next morning. SW. and variable. 
- June 15.—Early this morning a thunder shower ; warm day 
after the rain, with light gales from south, and cumuli, &c. 
June 16.—Warm but showery; various clouds, as in such 
weather. 
June \7.—Fair, warm day ; various clouds and showers. SW, 
June 18.—Warm and gentle showers. Southerly. 
June 19.—Rainy morning; fair evening: 
Jung 20.—Fair, but a great deal of cloud, and rather cooler 
than yesterday. 
The weather for the last ten days has been mild, pleasant and 
wholesome, with, showers at intervals, which have contributed 
much to complete the vegetation this backward spring. The 
Monkshood Poppy (Papaver orientale) and the Tragopoga po- 
lyfolium et pratense, came into flower later than usual. The 
clouds have been such as usually accompany summer showers 5 
a continual tendency to eumulostratus and nimbus, with cirro- 
cumulus, cirrus and cirrostratus of the common sort in the fine 
intervals.
