- Sun
Evening red and morning grey helps the farmer to make his hay. Evening grey and morning red brings the rain upon your head. Animals
When the cat scratches a stick it is a sign of rain. Stones
When the stones sweat it is a sign of rain. Smoke
When the smoke of the train is black it is a sign of rain. Birds
When the curlews are calling very loud, it is the sign of rain.
When the sea birds come from the sea shore to the land it is the sign of rain.
