- Smoke going straight up from the chimney is a sign of good weather.
Smoke curling to the ground is sign of rain
Blue blazes in the fire are a sign of storm
Noise in the tide s. east (at the Ben of Drogheda) is said to be sign of bad stormy weather, but if the tide roars with north east it is a sign of dry weather.When flocks of sea gulls gather on the land & remain for some time with their heads under their wings it is a sure sign of rainA halo round the moon is generally a sign of storm
If the halo is close the storm is far; if far out the storm is near; but if the halo passes away without rain a long spell of fine weather may be expected.
"Ladders" from the sun are sign of rain.
