- When there is only one star in the sky and it is under the moon, it is the sign of a storm. When you see the seagulls flying inland it is the sign of a storm. When you see the sheep beside the ditch it is the sign of rain. When you see the cattle going up the hill it is the sign of fine weather to farmer.
