- Weather Signs
A red sky in the mormning is sure to have rain before night.
A ring around the moon is a sure sign that there will be rain
If swallows or crows fly high, it is a sign of good weather; if they fly low, it is a sign of bad weather.
If a robin is singing on the highest branch of a tree, it is a sign of a good day; if she is down in the middle branches, it is a sign of a bad day.
To see the stars tinkling at night is a sign of a frosty night.
If the sun goes down red, it is a sign of a good day.
