Journal of the Weather at Llangollen, Denbighshire. 



16. A brilliant parhelion, seen to the right of the 

 sun about 6 P.M. The true sun behind a mountain, in 

 a cloud. 



21. This storm exceeded any on record since January 

 1839; many hundred trees were either partly or wholly 

 destroyed ; the spray of the river Dee at Llangollen was, 

 during some of the most violent gusts, carried higher 

 than the adjacent houses, and the noise of the waters re- 

 sembled the roar of thunder. 



22. The Dee much swollen ; the waters rush down 

 their rocky bed with impetuosity. 



* About the minimum point, which continued for 3 hours. By tem- 

 porary gauge, the quantity of rain fallen estimated at 5 inches for the 

 14 davs.
