- When the sun sets very red it is the sign of fine weather. When the moon is turned upside down it is the sign of bad weather. When the sky is covered with stars it is of frost. When the clouds are black it is the sign of rain. A rainbow at night is the sign of rain. A rainbow in the morning is the sign of good weather. The South wind brings most rain to this district. When the swallows fly low it is the sign of rain. A blue flame in the fire is the sign of rain. When the cat turns his back to the fire it is the sign of rain. When the soot falls down it is the sign of rain.
