    To see the sky dark is a sign of rain, also to see the swallows fly low. The South wind brings us rain.
    When the seagulls fly high, we hope for good weather, and also when the sheep flock to the tops of the hills, and when there is a red sunset.
    When there is a red ring around the moon, we prepare for storm. When the smoke blows down the chimney, we know thunder is near.
