- Signs for the weather To see crows flying high is a sign of good weather
When the mountains seem to be near it is a sign of rain
A red sky in the evening is the sign of frost
When the south wind is blowing it is a sign of rain
To see crows flying low and making noise is a sign of storm
To hear a motor car or a bus far away is a sign of rain
to see a dew at night is a sign of a good day the next day
To see a black fog is a sign of wet weather
A rainbow in the morning is a sign of wet day
If you see the crows and starlings mixing that is a sign of rain
when ever the wind blows from the north it is a sign of frost or snow
If the crows light on the animals heads that is a sign of rain
if you see webs in the fields in the evening that is a sign of frost
If the cat is scrabbing at wood it is a sign of rain
When it is very warm and close it is the sign of thunder
If the wind blows round in a ring it is the sign of storm
When a robin sings in a tree it is also the sign of storm
