- (continued from previous page)we see a fog on top of a hill and this predicts fine weather without much sunshine.
When the dust is flying with the wind it foretells hard dry weather.
When the sound of the sea comes from Aran direction it foretells very fine weather where as the wind coming from Mutton Island direction foretells very bad weather.
When the fire is dark and smoky we will have rain, and very often a blue light is seen at the back of the fire. The smoke seems to move lazily up the chimmney and the weather will be dull.
In Winter when the stars twinkle and the air is clear frost will follow.
