  1. When the cats and dogs sit with their backs to the fire it is a sign of cold weather,
    A red sky in the morning is a sign of rain
    There is a cave in the Red Strand and when you would hear the waves rolling in to it it is a sign of rain
    A rainbow in the morning is a sign of rain
    A rainbow in the evening is sign of fine weather
    The sun red when it is setting a sign of fine weather

    If the ducks quack on a wet day it will keep wet
