- When the Galtee Mountains look near it is a sign of rain. A rainbow in the morning is the sign of rain. When you see swallows flying low it is a sign of rain. When you see dust rising off the road it is a sign of rain.A blue flame in the fire is a sign of frost. A rainbow in the evening is the sign of good weather.When the wind is south
It beats on fishes mouth.
When the wind is east
It is neither good for man nor beast.
When the wind is west
It is the best.
