393. What do cirro-cumulus clouds foretell?

Cirro-cumulus clouds, in summer, foretell increasing heat attended by mild rain, and a south wind; but in winter they commonly precede the breaking up of a frost, and the setting in of foggy and wet weather. ([Fig. 4].)

394. What do cirro-stratus clouds foretell?

Cirro-stratus clouds foretell rain or snow, according to the season of the year.

These clouds extend in long horizontal streaks, thinning away at their base, and in parts becoming wavy or patchy.

When they are thus defined in the heavens they are a certain indication of bad weather. ([Fig. 6].)

395. What do cumulo-stratus clouds foretell?

Cumulo-stratus clouds usually foretell a change of weather—from rain to fine, or from fine to rain. ([Fig. 9].)
