- The signs of rain are; a circle around the moon, the wind blowing from the south and a reddening in the east in the morning or in the west in the evening.
The soot falls from the chimneys, and the spider creeps from their cobwebs. The cricket signs louder, and the dogs eat grass in preference to their food. The goats run for shelter when the rain is near.
When you see threads on the ground or the distant hills appear quite near it is going to rain.
