  1. When the tide goes out and makes a big strand it is going to be fine.
    When we have a full moon we expect to have good weather.
    The sky brightens and gets blue, the clouds disappear and the sun sets in the west like a red ball when it is going to be fine.
    When there is a rainbow in the evening it's night is expected to be fine.
