    When wild birds are flying about it is a sign of a change. When the sky is low it is the sign of bad weather. If there was a lot of stars in the sky it would be the sign of bad weather. If there was a rainbow in the sky it would be the sign of showery weather. When the smoke is turning it is the sign of rain.
