OBSERVATIONS ON THE WEATHER,
FOR JUNE, 1822.
GENERAL REPORT.

This month has been fair, dry, and un-
usually hot-the rain amounting only to
of an inch, and the mean temperature of
the air to 21 higher than in any June
during the last seven years, and 50 higher
than the mean of the same months in that
period. The mean thormometrical heat of
June, 1818, comes nearest to that of the

this month, in reference to our Journal, is
also unprecedented, it being on the 11th,

prevalence of upper and under currents of
air, and the hot weather the first part of
the month, this neighbourhood, indeed the
county of Hampshire generally, has escaped
the effects of those dreadful thunder-
storms that visited other parts of the coun-
try, Ireland, Scotland, and France; but
the electrical appearances of the compound
modifications of clouds in the day-time
often forboded the gathering of storms.
The wind having prevailed two-thirds of
the month from the eastern side of the meri-
dian, the evaporation on that account, con-
sidering also the small quantity of rain and
the high mean temperature, is very great,
namely, 84 inches in depth, 24 of which
were absorbed by the influence of the sun-
shine and dry winds in the first six days.
This has already been the means of lower-

ing the springs a little here. The mean
temperature of spring water has this month
increased upwards of 140, and it is 20
warmer than at this time last year. So
great and uninterrupted has been the heat
of the sun's rays, that we have on several
evenings observed a radiation, like a stream

crops of hay were got in under the most fa-
vourable weather in and about this neigh-
bourhood the early part of the month; and
a few fields had been cut and carried by
the last day of May, being 5 or 6 weeks
sooner than the time of haymaking last
summer.

Both flying and stationary gossamer has again been prevalent; and the insects have been abundant and injurious to vegetation; perhaps a more genial winter and spring for their increase have not been known for many years past.

The atmospheric and meteoric phænomena that have come within our observation this month are 2 parhelia, 7 solar halos, 14 meteors, 1 rainbow, sheet lightning on three different evenings, twice accompanied by distant thunder; and 6 gales of wind, or days on which they have prefrom NE. 3 from SW. vailed, namely, and 1 from the W.

DAILY REMARKS.

June J. A bright sunny day, with light air from the westward: Stratus in the adjoining field soon after sunset, an orange twilight, and a clear moonlight night.

2. Fair, with a brisk SE. wind. A faint parhellon appeared on the north side of the sun at 7 PM. at the edge of a Cirrostratus cloud: the night as the preceding.

3. As the preceding day and night. One small meteor passed near the star Castor at 10 PM.

4. A stratus early, and a coloured parhelion with a white train on the north side of the sun from 8 till 9 AM. when its altitude was upwards of 40°. A fair day and night.

5. A dense Stratus before sunrise, followed by a fair and hot day, with prevailing Cirrocumulus clouds in a dark blue sky: clear and dewy by night.

6. A Stratus early, and a fair morning, with hot sunshine: PM. mostly overcast with the two strata of clouds, very sultry, and 3 bright meteors.

7. A fair and clear day and night, except a few Cumuli at noon, and a refreshing breeze from NE. The maximum heat in the Sun's rays to-day was 112°, equal to fever heat.

8. A cloudless day, and the wind as yesterday. Immediately after sunset two strata of clouds came up from the southward, from which quarter they discharged their electrical contents incessantly through the night; and it terminated only in a few drops of rain. From the position of the vane, the winds from the South and East alternately reigned.

9. Generally overcast, light showers, and distant thunder in the morning: PM. fine and calm, and vivid lightning for several hours behind the clouds in the NE. horizon.

10. AM. fair, with two winds, and a solar halo: in the afternoon undulated Cirrostratus, followed by a light shower of rain: a fine night, and lightning for several hours to the eastward.

11. A fair and very hot day, with various modifications of clouds, particularly lofty Cirrus, in which a solar halo was formed, and the lower wind repeatedly blew from every quarter of the

compass; the clouds very red at sunset, followed by one loud clap of thunder, rain, and a strong gale from NE.

12. A continuation of the gale, and a considerable decrease in the temperature of the air: AM. cloudy and fine; and a clear sky by night.

13. Nothing could exceed the grandeur and brilliancy with which the planets Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, and the Moon shone in a line from the Sun, at 3 o'clock this morning, when the solar rays had already given a red tinge to the falling dew in the NE. horizon. Venus and Saturn were in conjunction, the latter having the appearance of a star of the 2nd or 3rd magnitude, with all its beauties hidden from the naked eye, and was only a few minutes to the south of the former. Fair and cloudless, except low distant Cirrus. In turning from the planet Mercury soon after 9 PM. a bright meteor was observed to pass under the planet Mars in an almost perpendicular direction, and the moment it disappeared, it was surrounded by a faint red flash-2'smail lofty meteors appeared in the evening. The night as the preceding.

14. Fine, except an hour's light rain in the morning, the clouds which produced it from SW. having been repelled by a strong breeze from SE: lightning in the horizon to the southward in the evening, followed by a veil of Cirrostratus.

15. AM. overcast, and gentle showers, with wind from SW. PM. fine.

16. AM. overcast and windy: a sunny afternoon, and a clear sky by night.

17. AM. mostly overcast and windy: a fine afternoon, and two winds, the upper one from NE. a clear sky after sunset.

18. A cloudless day and night, except nascent Cumuli in the northern part of the horizon in the forenoon, and coloured haze at sunset.

19. Sunshine with nearly opposite winds, and various modifications of clouds, the Cirrocumuli having been formed by lofty Cirri: a cloudy night and some dew.

20. The sun rose with a large halo around itan overcast sky through the day, yet pleasant: the
