- (continued from previous page)full of clouds it is also a sign of rain.
When the sea is roaring and gets very rough rain or stormy weather is approaching. All the gnats fly low when rain is coming, and that is why the swallow flies low to catch the gnats. It is said that frogs turn black when rain is coming, and that the soot falls down from the chimneys also when rain is coming. The distant hills look near when rain is approaching, and whirlwinds are a sign of rain. If the wind is in the east in the morning and follows the sun during the day until it sets in the evening it is a sign of fine weather. If the wind is constantly changing it is a sign of unsettled weather.- Collector
