- When there is a ring around the moon it is a sign of bad weather.
When the sea birds come inland it is a sign of bad weather
When the cat sits with her back to the fire it is a sign of bad weather
When there is a blue flame in the fire it is a bad sign of the weather.
When there is a rainbow in the east it is a sign of stormy weather
When the cat scrapes it is a sign of stormy weather.
When openings show in the sky it is a sign of wild weather.
When the walls are damp and the cricket sings it is a sign of bad weather
