- (continued from previous page)When the smoke goes straight up to the sky it is for fine weather.
If the red colour on the sky goes up, it is for fine weather.
If the red colour goes down it is for rain.
When the midges are very plentiful in the evening it is a sign of rain.
When the ants with the wings fall to the earth, it is a sign of good weather.
When the bees are very noisy around the hive it is a sign of rain.
