- When smoke goes up from a chimney straight it is a sign of good weather.
When the smoke comes down the chimney instead of up it is a sign of rain.
When the smoke curls to the ground it is a sign of rain.
When the swallows fly low it is a sign of rain
When the wind blows from the Drogheda bar it is a sign of rain.
When the tide roars up at the bar it is a sign of a storm.
When crows come in to the country it is a sign of rain.
