- If the sky were very blue and there were a lot of stars you would have frost. The crows flying low is the sign of a storm. If there were a circle around the moon it is the sign of rain. If the mountains are capped with clouds it is the sign of rain. A rainbow in the morning is the sign of bad weather. A rainbow in the evening is the sign of good weather. The swallows flying low is the sign of bad weather. The wind from the East brings most rain to our district.
