A cloudy speck which indicates the approach of a storm. When
Elijah heard that a speck no bigger than a “man's hand” might be seen
in the sky, he told Ahab that a torrent of rain would overtake him
before he could reach home (1 Kings xvii. 44, 45). Thomson alludes to
this storm signal in his Summer.
