This letter is followed by three panels generally bearing a number of red diamond-shaped marks, arranged as on a playing card, which panels indicate respectively .— ; (i) the height of the lowest cloud, ^ « (ii) the visibility ; and " * " T_ " (iii) the weather. 4. The significance of the panels is as follows :— No. of a) Height of Cloud.
