    A sunshine shower, never lasts an hour.
    Sun before seven, rain before eleven.
    If Saturday's moon, comes once in seven years, it comes once too soon.
    Sun. When the sun sets red its a sign of rain.
    Moon When there is a ring round the moon it is a sign of a storm.
    Stars When the stars move in the sky it is a sign of frost.
    Clouds When there is goats hair in the sky it is sign of rain.
    Rainbow. A rainbow in the sky is the sign of rain.
