    Signs of bad weather.
    When seagulls stay out in the land at night or when swallows fly low.
    Other signs of bad weather are when dogs eat grass.
    Clouds with purple tops is a sign of thunder.
    When cats turn their tails to the fire it is a sign of bad weather.
    Signs of good weather
    Rainbow at night
    When the ash "beats the oak we will have nothing but dust and smoke"
    When there is enough of blue to make a sailors suit in the sky in a harvest morning.
