  1. When the wind blows from the East
    Its fit for neither man nor beast.
    A rainbow in the morning
    Is the shepherd's warning.
    A rainbow at night
    Is the shepherd's delight.
    Twinkling stars show that frost is near.
    The wind from Toomna (SW) brings most rain to this district.
    When the cat scrapes wood, rain is near.

    When swallows fly high
    Good weather is nigh.
