  1. When the sun sets red the weather is supposed to be fine. When there is a bow around the moon it is supposed that wet weather is coming.
    When the stars are dancing in the sky we are getting frost. When we see fog it is the sign of warm weather.
    When the wind blows from the south west it is the sign of rain
