- (continued from previous page)The new crescent moon on its back indicates severe weather.
In the opposite direction fine weather may be expected.
A clear blue sky - fine weather.
A white fleecy cloud in summer in a blue sky - a shower.
An overcast sky heavy rain.
Cobwebs coming low down indicate rain or broken weather.
The curlew calls for rain
Sufferers from corns and rheumatism feel pain severely when rain is coming.
Plenty of sloes, hops and haws a sign of hard winter.
Flocks of sparrows in a bush chirruping is a sign of storms.
Blue blazes in fire - storm coming.
When two knocks sparks out of road it is going to rain.
River roaring over rocks before storm.
Fish near banks is thunder.
When bait are not the fly.
