    going to rain the dog is seen to eat grass. If the fire blazes up suddenly without any apparent reason it is a sign of a storm. Sometimes we can see objects on hills very clearly so that they appear to be very near. This is a sign of rain. The ducks quack loudly when rain is coming. Clouds of midges are observed when rain is coming. If the smoke ascend straight into the air fine weather is to be expected but if it is low and blowing about we may expect rain.
