On my last few and really stuck. Must be in by end of the month. Answers all weather related.

23 The closing of an opening between two fronts (9)
62) Apparition of a fractured ghost seen around top of Cairngorms (7,7)
74) Wilkinson in Les Miserables holds back occasionally. Quite warming (2,4) Must be backwards in the clue but can't see it.
Need some pretty big hints, please.

74 is a band of warm ocean water and, as you suspected is written backwards in the clue.

74 not an English word!

...it's a well know foreign phrase.

62 is the apparently enormous and magnified shadow of an observer, cast upon the upper surfaces of clouds opposite the sun...
...a peak in the Harz Mountains in Germany, have created a local legend from which the phenomenon draws its name.

sorry i don't know what other clues i can give. i never heard of it before.

Thanks for those. Will work on them for a while. I wondered if the first one was 'occlusion' after googling ,but couldn't back it up.

Got those plus several more I finally managed to work out. Just two left - help appreciated.

65) Look at a bat I couldn't protect from the cold wind (9)
90 below -the result of a discharge (7)
90 is the clue number but I think it is also part of the clue itself as 'below' has a lower case letter to start.
