- Weather Lore.
There will be rain, when the sky at sun-set is of a pale yellow, of when the clouds are of a dark Indian Red.
Wind, when the sky at sun-set is yellow, wind and rain when the sky is red. Bad weather, when the sky is red in the morning. A grey dull morning usually turns to a fine day. Fair weather is expected, when sea-birds fly out early, and far to sea-ward.
If the sun sets in a clear sky in Summer, a very fine, and hot day will follow.
When a crane flies up the river, that is a sign that the weather is broken.
