A Solar Halo

Abstract

IN connection with the heavy thunderstorms further south, possibly, there was here the most brilliant solar halo on the 29th which I have seen. The wind was easterly all the time, causing sea-fog-like clouds in the morning, which dissipated by degrees about 10, but I did not notice the halo before 10.45, nor after 3.30 or 4 o'clock. It was certainly gone at 5.
