  1. (continued from previous page)
    wet day follows. When Killery is "capped" in the morning bad weather comes after. When the birds on Lough Doon can be heard quarrelling a long distance away rain is expected. When the curlews are calling as the sun is setting rain follows. When the sky is red over Sligo in the evening the next day is always good. When cement floors get damp good weather is generally expected.
