A good deal of thunder with vivid flashes of lightning within the last hour, proceeding from a dark mass of scud to SW., W., and reaching past the 

 zenith, the scud moving from SSW. ; cirro-stratus and cirrous haze above ; loose smoky scud, low from ENE. ; the intervals between the lightning 

 and the thunder changed from 20^5 to about 10^ and 12s. At 8^ 5'^. A general Scotch mist ; a vivid flash of lightning with thunder at 8^ 3™. 

 Frequent flashes of lightning with thunder till 9'' 10™; the storm was most violent about 8'' 40"", the intervals being 5^ to S'*. 9'^ 10™. Loose scud 



acted on by currents in every direction, moving principally from the westward ; the thunder ceased till 9^ 25™ when it recommenced in the ESE. '^ 



Scud. The thunder still continues in the NE., frequent flashes of sheet-lightning ; the thunder faint and distant. This storm commenced in the 



SW. and W., passed a little to the north of the zenith round towards the E. and NE. : it rained from 81" till 9^, occasional showers afterwards. -vo"
