- The people in our townland have many signs by which they foretell what kind of weather is before us, some of the signs are as follows:
When a blue flame appears in the fire it is a sign of rain, and when the crows in their flight imitate the flying kite. When the seagulls come in to the land from the sea it is an omen of a coming storm, also a sign of storm is, when a red streak appears in the western sky.
When the distant hills seem nigh we are supposed to expect rain. When a glittering sun goes down in the west it is also a sign of rain. We are supposed to get fine weather when the Sun and Moon are seen in the sky in the evening. When the setting sun appears to be a round ball of fire we are supposed to be near frost and hard dry weather.
When the wind whistles through the keyhole it is supposed to be a sign of coming rain. When flying ants are seen on the road it is a sign of wet weather.- Collector
