  1. If the day is hazy shading the sun and making it look white the weather will be wet.
    If the moon is pale withe a ring around it the weather will be wet if the rays of the sun are like horns or it is a white colour when setting that is also a sign of wet weather.
    If the moon is red it is the sign of a storm if the ring around the moon is a good distance away from it that is a sign of frost.
