- 1. WindsWhen the north wind blows in this district it means plenty of hail, rain and snow. This wind is hardly ever experienced except, around, December to March. The East wind also brings the same kind of weather. The south westerly wind is the one that blows mostly in this place, Clinstown. It brings plenty of soft rain.

The South wind brings rain,
The West wind brings a storm,
