- Signs of rain:-
The crickets singing very loudly. The cat with his back to the fire.
The soot falling, The ashes blue. The curlews whistling. The crows flying low. The windows rattling. The wind from the South. The glass is low. A dog eating grass.
Fine Weather:-
The walls damp. The sun goes down very red. A fog at night in Summer is the sign of hot weather. The sky is of a red colour. The swallows come to Ireland.
Signs of Frost:-
The river roaring. The birds come for food. Everything gets dry. Stars in the sky.(continues on next page)
