- A yellow sunset is the sign of bad weather. When the swallows are flying low and close to the land it is a sign of rain. When a rainbow is seen in the morning it is a sign of broken weather and when a rainbow is seen in the evening it is the sign of fine weather. When the wind blows from the west is the sign of bad weather. A darkness in the air which shades the sun's light and makes it appear whitish or at night if the moon and stars grow dim rain will follow. When a crowd of crows are to be seen in a field it is the sign of rain. If a cat turns his back to the fire it is bad sign.
