The Western wind brings the most rain. The heaviest rain falls from the south. When a dog sleeps beside the fire it is a sign of rain. The swallows always fly low, and the rooks fly around in greatest searmd when rain is at hand. The Distant hills and mountains appear near, and the flies make a great noise among the trees. When the Sun goes down yellow it is a sign of rain. Rain is also indicated when the rivers and waterfalls are heard at great distance.
