- Sun
On the going doun if the sun if there are rays from it like Moses’ Horns and it appears pale, rain follows the next day. When Dublin red appears early in the morning we will have rain in the evening.
Moon.
When the moon has a big circle round it rain usually comes the next day. The further the circle from the moon, the nearer the rain.
Stars.
When the stars shine out it denotes frost and if it be a white frost it brings rain. When a star runs across the sky its a sign of rain too.(continues on next page)
