  1. If there is a circle around the moon it is a sign of rain. If soot is falling down the chimney it is a sign of rain. If birds fly high it is a sign of fine weather or if they fly low it is a sign of bad weather. If the birds of the sea fly inland it is a sign of rain. The south wind brings most rain to our district. If the stars are pale it is a sign of rain. If a dog is seen eating grass it is a sign of rain. When the sea is rough it is a sign or rain.
