    Will dance like a fly.
    A shower in July is worth a plough of oxen.
    A dry Summer never begs bread.
    Never trust a July sky.
    If it thunders in all fools' day,
    It brings good crops of corn and hay.
    After a storm there comes a calm.
    April and May keep out of the say (sea),
    June and July you can swim till you die.
    An ounce of March dust is worth a King's ransom.
    When it rains from the east,
    It rains for a few days at least.
    A rainbow at night is the shepherd's delight,
    A rainbow at morning is the shepherd's warning.
    A wet May and a dry June,
    Make the farmers whistle a merry tune.
