- When you see the smoke going up straight it is the sign of good weather and when you see it coming down it is the sign of bad, on the ground. When you see the mountain near it is the sign of bad weather. And when you hear the Shannon flowing loud that you can hear it is the sign of good weather. The wind from the south brings the rain to my district And when the sky is very red it is the sign of good weather. And when the cat and dog comes into the house and sits beside the fire it is the sign of bad weather. When the swallows fly high it is the sign of good weather, when they fly along the ground it is the sign of bad weather.
