- The weather is mostly judged in this district by the wind. When the wind is from the north it is a sign of rain or sometimes frost. The people of this district do not like the north wind, for it never comes for good weather, but always for bad weather. Wind that comes from Limerick is also bad wind. It always brings rain or storms. The north wind in summer time is for good weather and the wind from Limerick in summer brings rain. In summertime the wind from Cullaun is not a good wind either for it always bring rain.
