- The sea gulls flying north is a sign of storm.
When the hills seem to be near is a sign of rain.
When the sea gulls fly inland from the sea there is a storm brewing on the coast.
When the wind blows from the south it is a sign that rain is coming.
When spiders threads are on the ground it is a sign of rain.
If a person's corns begin to pain it is a sign of rain. - Collector
