- (continued from previous page)a cat sitting with her back to the fire, a dog eating grass and a cat scraping a stick with her claws are the signs of rain.
The west wind brings the most rain. The smoke falling to the ground is the sign of rain. The smoke going up straight is the sign of good weather.
A mist on Bruise Hill (near Arva) is the sign of rain and when there is no mist on it, it is the sign of good weather. When the curlews are shouting and when the cranes fly in flocks it is the sign of rain.
