If the sun shines early in the morning, and if it shows a glaring appearance and if it sets in a cloud of a coppery colour, and when there is a ring round the moon, it is gerelally a sign of bad weather.
The sea-birds fly inland.
The frog changes his coat to a brown colour in the approach of rain.
If you see the wind blowing the dust on the roadside it is a sign of rain.
