   Spears of golden light around the rising sun foretell rain.
   The rainbow is a sign of change, and is never seen in settled weather either good or bad.
   Rainbow in the morning means rain, while in the evening it faces the sun sinking in the west and is thus moving east otherwise away from the rainy quarter.
   The cat is credited with great influence on the weather. The cat has a gale of wind in her tail, when she is unusually frisky it will rain, when she is very industrious over cleaning her ears and head.
   A great deal of misplaced faith has been accorded the rhyme:
   St Swithin's Day if thou dost rain for forthy days it will remain.
   St Swithin's Day if thou be fair for forthy days 'twill rain na-mair.
   Records repeatedly investigated show that there is no truth in the legend.
   There is certainly about that date - July 15 a tendency for the weather to alter, but for the better just as likely as for the worse luckily.
