    Sun
    If there are lines in the sky round the sun, it is the sign of good weather.
    2) If the sun is shining brightly on a windy day it is the sign of rain.
    Moon
    If there is a ring round the moon it is a sign of bad weather.
    Stars
    If the stars are always shining brightly it is the sign of frost.
    Clouds
    If the clouds seem near and are very black looking it is the sign of bad weather.
    Rainbow
    If there is a rainbow, it is a sure sign of rain.
    2) A rainbow in the morning is the sailor's warning, and a rainbow in the night is the sailor's delight.
