  1. When the sky is black and cloudy it is a sure sign of rain.
    When there is a halo around the moon it is a sure sign of rain.
    It the wind blow's from the South-West there will be rain. From the East the weather will be dry and cold.
    When a storm is coming all the animals seek shelter.
    When the swallow's are flying low there will be rain.
    If the animals start roaring and lowing it is the sign of rain.
    If the river's make a loud noise there will be rain. And if they only make a little noise the weather will be fine.
