    When the sky is red on a summer's evening, it is a sure sign that the next day will be fine.
    "The nearer the ring to the moon, the farther the rain,
    The father the ring from the moon, the nearer the rain."
    "A rainbow in the morning is the shepherd's waring.
    A rainbow at night is the shepherd's delight".
    Wind blowing south-west is a sure sign of rain, but a North wind is the sign of fine weather.
