- "When the swallows fly high in the sky it is a sign of fine weather but when they fly near the ground it is a sign of rain.""A red sky in the morning is a sailors warning,
A red sky at night is a sailors delight."
"When the smoke goes up straight out of the chimney its a sign of fine weather but when it go to the ground it is a sign of rain.""Mackeral skies and mares tails cause many a tall ship to lower its sails."
"Sloe year woe year"
Heave year brave year."
