- A rainbow in the morning is a shepherd's warning. A rainbow at night is a shepherd's delight.
When swallows fly high it is a sign of good weather and when they fly low it is a sign of bad weather.
When there comes a mist around the moon it's said to be a sign of rain.
When the sun sets in a red glow it's a sign of good weather.
When the wagtail comes and hops around the door it's a sign of storm.
When the cat puts her back to the fire it's a sign of snow.
When the mountains or hill are clouded in a mist it's a sign of approaching rain.
When seagulls are seen on the land stormy weather is near.
