   When a cement floor becomes damp it is a sign of wet weather. If the northern lights shine very brightly a storm is near at hand. When the springs open rain is coming. If the crickets sing at night rain may be expected. When cob-webs fly before you a storm is coming. If the sheep stay at the foot of the hills rain is approaching.

   When you see a purple colour in the fire there is going to be a storm
   Some people say when you see the goats on the top of the hill there is a storm coming.
   The old fishermen say when you see the sea-gull and the puffin high in the air we are going to have bad weather
   The old people say tha when some of the sky is red and some of it is black, we are going to have thunder and lightning.
   When there is a ring round the moon we are going to have bad weather.
