- (continued from previous page)If the starlings gather on high hills it is the sign of bad weather.
If the crickets are singing loudly it is the sign of rain.
If the spiders go up from their cobwebs it is the sign of fine weather.
If the soot is falling it is the sign of rain.
If there is a red colour in the sky late in the evening it is the sign of a wet night.
If old peoples' bones get sore it is the sign of rain.
If a yellow frog is seen it is the sign of fine weather.
If there is a yellow colour in the sky in the morning it is the sign of a sunny day.
