- There are alot of beliefs with regard to the weather in my district. If there are alot of stars in the sky at night this is the sign of frosty weather. The north wind that brings most rain to my district. It is believed that if the crows are seen flying very low and making alot of noise it is the sign that a storm is coming. If the sky gets dark it is the sign of rain. When the cat puts his back to the fire it also denotes bad weather.
