    when the clouds are red in the morning it is the sign of rain.
    Birds serve as weather omens, for example, when good weather is coming they fly high and when bad weather is coming they fly low.
    Insects also serve as weather omens, for example, when large numbers of pismires are seen on the road or fields they denote bad weather.
