- When one can look at the sun it is a sign of rain. When the stars can be seen travelling through the sky during wet weather it is a sign of more rain. When there are woolpacks in the sky it is a sign of broken weather. If the dog eats grass it is a sign of rain. When the cricket sings sharply it is a sign of rain. When we hear the cerlew in the evening it is a sign of bad weather. When the stares gather together and sing in the fields during the Winter it is a sign of hard weather. When the floor weeps during wet weather it is a sign of fine weather and when during fine weather a sign of rain.
