  1. (continued from previous page)
    When the hills look near and when the fog comes down the mountains and when we see a fairy blast we may also expect rain.
    Weather gulls foretell showery or broken weather. An early rainbow foretells that the evening will be wet. "The rainbow in the morning is the shepherd's warning and the rainbow at night is a shepherd's delight.
    The wind is most frequently in the South and the people in Clonmeen then say that the wind is from Bawnaughra and those in Graigue say that it is from Castlepierce, It rains from the four cardinal points in broken weather.
