- If you saw seagulls flying around the sky it is the sign of rain.
Another sign is if there were soot falling.
If black stairs are flying around it is the sign of a storm.
If a dog scratches himself against leaves it is the sign of rain.
Another sigh is if a cat has her back to the fire.
If the smoke is going up straight to the chimney it is the sign of fine weather.
If the sky gets all dark and cloudy it is the sign of rain.
It is a sign of bad weather to see swallows flying low.
If there is a circle around the moon it is the sign of rain.
If the mountains appear near you it is the sign of rain
