Meteolojinx Recanto

Meteolojinx Recanto (mee-tee-OH-loh-jincks reh-CAN-toh) is a spell that presumably causes weather effects caused by charms to cease.

Known Uses

 * In 1997, Arthur Weasley suggested that Reginald Cattermole (actually his son Ron in disguise) use this spell to stop it from raining in the office of Yaxley, who was the head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement while Lord Voldemort was in control of the Ministry of Magic. He commented that it had worked previously for Bletchley.

Etymology
The incantation for this spell is likely derived from meteorology, the study of weather, which originates from the Greek word metéōron, "high in the sky", as well as the English verb recant, "to withdraw or retract".

Behind the scenes

 * In the film Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Bartemius Crouch, Jr, disguised as Alastor Moody by means of Polyjuice Potion, possibly used it to stop the Enchanted Ceiling in the Great Hall from storming.
