    When the wind blows from the north in winter it will snow and in summer it is a sign of good weather,, when the wind blows from the south it is a sign of rain. When the wind is in the east it is a sign of hard cold weather, and if it rains it is the coldest rain ever fell. When the wind is from the west it is a sign of mild weather. If there is broken weather when the sun and wind meets it will rain. If you see a rainbow in the morning it is a sign of rain but if you see a rainbow in the evening it is a sign of good weather.
