  1. To see the swallows flying high is a sign of fine weather. If you see the smoke going up straight out of the chimney is a sign of fine weather. To see a fog on the land is a sign of fine weather.
    If you hear a cricket singing sharply when you are sitting by the fire at night time that is a sign of rain.
