- Signs of rainy weather:
When a cat washes his face.
When soot falls from the chimney.
Signs of windy weather:
When seagulls gather in a big flock.
When crows fly high and tumble.
Sign of a foggy night:
When wild - geese are flying over a light.
Sign of frosty weather:
When the sky is full of stars.
When the sky is red in the morning is the sign of rain in the evening.
