When the little birds are singing it is a sign of rain.
When there is a ring round the moon it is the sign of stormy weather.
When the stars are twinkling it is the sign of frost.
When there is a blue blaze in the fire it is a sign of rain.
When the cat scrapes a chair it is the sign of wind.
If there is a hallow around the sun it is the sign of rain.
If there is a red sky in the morning it is the sign of a storm and if there is a red sky at night it is the sign of good weather.
The dog eats grass when there is going to be cold weather.
When the sea rises there is a storm coming.
When the sun goes down red in the evening it is a sign that there is going to be good weather
When old people feel pains it is a sign that there is going to be rain.
