- The swallow give sure signs about the weather. When they fly low, it is a sign of rains, and when they fly high, it is a sign of good weather. If the smoke from a chimney goes up, slightly and then turns down, it is a sign of rain.To see stars falling is a sign of stormy weather. Some people can tell of the approach of rain, by hearing the noise of local rivers in the evening. To see crows flying high in the morning, is a sign of good weather. To see a robin singing on branch of a tree in the evening is another good sign of the weather.
