- When the swans go to the lake it is a sign of bad weather. To hear the curlew whistling it is a sign of wet weather because the curlew calls the rain.When the sun shines after a wet day we will have rain.When the rocks are shining it is the sign of hot weather.When the ducks roar it is the sign of rain, because they always call for rain.When the birds are heard signing in the morning it is the sign of a fine day.If there is a red colour on the sky it is a sign of thunder.If the evening is cold, it is the sign of frost.
