[Diary entry: 20 February 1785]

Sunday 20th. Mercury at 43 in the Morning, 47 at Noon and 50 at Night.

Wind pretty fresh all day from the Southward. Morning lowering. About Noon great appearances of rain—but towards sunsetting the clouds dispersed and the Sun came out.

A large, but not a very distinct circle about the moon.
