    Here are some local sayings regards the weather.
    "Céo ar Mhuisire, folaire lom, na cómhthairí sionann, is fearr sa domhan

    "A rainbow in the morning is a shepherd's warning"
    "A rainbow in the night is a shepherd's delight"
    "The ash before the oak we're in for a soak"
    "The oak before the ash it will only be a splash"

    When a frog is seen rising and is noticed to be travelling up the Blackwater against the current fine weather is certain. This occurred several times this year.
