    When the faoileans come in on the land in flocks it is a sure sign of a storm.
    A ring around the moon
    Rain very soon.
    Pipes from the sun in the sky
    The weather will not be long dry.
    When the weather breaks in August the old people say that it will rain till it fills the lake and that it is the Lama Flood we are having
    Whistling winds in the chimney
    Whistling winds in the locks
    Heavy rains soon will follow
    And high waves lash the rocks.
    The wind from Frenchpark (S.E)
    The wind from Loughglynn (S.W)
    Always bring rain.
    When the reeds rustle loudly
    And the lake is black
    Its time to finish fishing
    And hurry getting back (Rain in torrents)
