    If the curlews are heard at night it is a sign of bad weather.

    If the sun is red when going down on a summer's evening it is a sign that the morrow will be good.

    If the sky round the sun is red when going down it is a sign the morrow will be bad.

    When the cat eats turf it is a sign of bad weather.

    If Candlemas is bright and clear there will be two Winters in the year.
