When sparks of fire are seen on the bottom of a kettle or a pot it is a sure sign of rain.
When the soot falls down or the smoke comes low to the ground it is a sign of rain.
When there is a circle around the moon or the clouds are leaden and low it is a sign of rain.
When the swallows fly low it is a sign of rain.
