    Weather Lore
    There are many omens and signs in the sky, with regard to the weather. Nearly all signs of the weather are observed in the sky.
    When the sun is going down and if the sky around the sun is red that is the sign we will have fine weather.
    When there are dark clouds overhead that is the sign of rain coming.
    If the rainbow comes out after a shower of rain it shows that we going to have more rain.
    The south-west wind brings most rain to our district.
