    If pigs that are out in the field, run about with sticks or straws in their mouths, it is a sign of bad weather.
    If the sun goes down on a red skyline it is a sign of rain.
    When sheep climb the fills in single file it is a sign of bad weather.
    When hills seem nearer in the evening it is a sign of bad weather.
    If clouds are in huge heaps together and are unusual white it is a sign of a storm.
