    (1) When black snails appear in great numbers on the roads it is a sign of bad weather.
    (2). When the frog’s color turns to black it is a sign of stormy weather or when they turn yellow it is a sign of good weather.
    (3). Whe smoke rises straight up in the air it is a sign of a calm sunny day.
    (4) When midges are seen flying late on a summer’s evening it signifies a wet night.
