   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   When the wind blows hollow it is a sign of rain.
   When the clouds are black and when the spiders from their cobwebs creep we shall have bad weather.
   If the sun is pale in the evening when it is setting it is a sign of bad weather.
   When you see a halo around the moon it is a sign of rain.
   Before rain the walls get damp and the chairs begin to creak.
   When the cattle cluster together in the field it is a sign of thunder.
   When the swallows fly low it is a bad sign.
   If the curlew gives only one cry we shall have fine weather but if he give two together it is a sign of rain.
   The ducks quack loudly before rain.
   When the hills look near it is a sign of rain but when they look far away it is a sign of fine weather.
   When the sun seems to hunt the wind before it that is a sign of fine weather.
   If the wind hunts the sun it is a sign of bad weather.
   A sign of rain is to see the geese flying in the air
   Before rain the flies disturb the cattle and set them gadding.
