Sometimes the sound will seem to come from a part of the river higher up its course and sometimes from a part lower down. The first means rain and the second condtition means fine weather. A mild weather foretells a wet Summer. When the robin sings on the top of the bush in the morning there will be a fine day, when at the bottom of the bush that day will be wet or showery. Blue flames in the fire fortell rain, when ducks quack it is a sign of rain.
   Even with all these signs there is no local weather prophet and in general we all are very bad at making any forecast of the weather.
