- The following are signs of fine weather;-
When the smoke goes up straight, when a block of salt stays hard and firm, when the sun goes down red and clear, when the frog is a bright yellow colour, when a patient with rheumatic pains gets relief, when the soot is dry and firm on the chimney.
The following are signs of wet weather:-
When a cement floor gets damp.
When the frog changes from a bright yellow to a dark brown.
When you see a dog eating grass.
When you see the moon turned on its back.
When a rainbow is seen in the morning.
When the hills and mountains look near.
When the swallows fly low.
