    Insects such as "clocks" and spiders" creep from their hiding places and are to be seen creeping along roads and paths at the coming of rain.
    Other Sign:- If the smoke goes straight up from the chimney it is a good sign of (rain) the weather but if it whirls round the top of the chimney its a bad sign of the weather. The root falls down from the chimney and the ashes is blue at the coming of rain.
    Dust whirls on the road at the coming of rain and the water sinks down in lakes and ponds.
