Luke Howard named the clouds

I did my report on this book and i'm doing the weather report like the girl Grace on the first monday of the month at school until the end of school. I learned that Luke Howard made up names for clouds in Latin even though he did not like learning the Latin language when he was in school. It was hard to talk about clouds until Luke Howard named them.
