  1. Signs of Bad Weather

    Share Share Post
    The following are signs of bad weather.
    To hear the Curlew whistling
    Crickets singing at night
    Soot falling from the crane
    Distant hills appearing near
    Hens picking their feathers
    Blue sparks in the ashes when it is moved by the tongs
    Wild geese going to the mountain
    Birds flying low
    White clouds in the sky
    Rainbows
    A ring around the moon
    Ducks cackling in the evening
    The seas roaring in the South
