- When the sun goes down red it is a sign of fine weather. A circle around the moon is a sign of rain. When the clouds are in stretches very near the sky it is a sign of rain. When the wind comes from the East we get a lot of rain. In the evening if you see the sky kind of blue it is a sign of storm: also when the goats run home. When the soot falls it is a sign of rain, also when you see blue colours in the fire. When the smoke goes down towards the ground it is a sign of rain
