- (continued from previous page)evening it is the sign of fine weather and if the fog comes on the hill in the morning it is the sign of bad weather.
- A great sign of good weather is the double cry of the curlew and a bad sign of the weather is the single cry of the curlew.A very bad sign of the weather is the point of the wind to be towards Castlemaine and a very good sign of the weather is to have the wind blowing from the East.There is an old proverb about the rainbow: The proverb is:-
"A rainbow in the morning is the shepherd's warning
A rainbow at night is the shepherd's delight."A great sign of coming storm or rain is to hear the ocean moaning aloud and far away.If the cat or dog creeps alongside the fire it is a bad sign of the weather.It is a very bad sign of the weather to see the swallows flying low.A short rainbow or Maidrín Gaoithe is supposed to be a good sign of the weather.It is a good sign of the weather to see the smoke going up straight from the chimney, while it is a bad sign of the weather to see the wind blowing it sideways. It is a very bad of the weather to see the soot falling or to see the floor and salt getting wet in a house.It is also a bad sign of the weather to see ring all round the moon.It is a very bad sign of the weather to see the mountains looking nigh.- Collector
