Article #62 - Meteorological Observations

The average temperature of the month was 74.31 degrees. [The writer goes on to give the total rainfall, number of cloudy and clear days, and wind direction.]

The 29th was remarkable for the many changes that occurred in the weather. [He describes a day with fog, strong wind, overcast skies, lightning and thunder.] The heavens soon became thoroughly obscured, save where the margins of the sombre clouds appeared in lighter shades, just enabling the beholder to survey the grand sublimity of the scene. [Strong winds and a thunderstorm followed.] At mid-night the clouds had lost their palling gloom, the winds and rain had ceased, and the unruffled calm of night ensued.
