  1. When the sun is sparkling before it sets we know that rain is coming.
    When the clouds seem to be moving quickly bad weather is near.
    When the sky is clear, fine weather is expected.
    When we see a rainbow on Saturday we may expect a wet week.
    From whatever direction the wind blows on November Eve it will come from that point for three months.
    When goats and sheep come down from the hills a storm is expected.
