    When the wind comes from Achill it is a sign of bad weather.
    When the new moon is seen towards the North it is a sign of fine weather.
    A rainbow in the morning is the sailor's warning.
    A rainbow in the night is the shepherd's delight.
    It was an old saying that Saturday's moon comes seven years too soon.
    The nearer the moon comes to twelve o'clock mid-night, the better the weather.
