  1. Old people say that when there is a wide ring around the moon that we are going to have rain and when the ring is near the moon that we are going to have fine weather.
    When the rainbow comes into the sky we are going to have showers. When dogs eat grass we will have rain. When the cat will turn her back to the fire the next day will be rainy.
    If the sky is red when the sun is setting the next will be fine.
