- When the sun is cloudy it is a sure sign of bad weather. When the sun is shining bright and when the sky is a clear blue it is a sign of frosty weather. A markerel sky will never leave the ground dry. When the birds fly low it is a sign of rain. When the dog bites the tops off the grass that is a sign of rain.
- When a lot of stares gather together in the air that is a sign of cold winds. When a goat runs for shelter it is a sign of rain.
- Wet before seven fine before eleven. When sun sets with a greyish colour it is a sign of rain and storm. When the stares fly in flocks it is a sign of rain. Wet Friday, wet Sunday. Whatever Friday gets it holds.
