- There are a lot of signs of the weather in the sky.
If there is a rain bow in the sky in the morning in is a sign a bad weather.
If you see a cat sitting with her back to the fire its a sign of rain. If an ass stands with his back to the ditch it is a sign of bad weather. If you see a cat tearing a tree it is a sign of bad weather. When the crows are flying low it is a sign of windy weather.
To see the crows weaving a blanket it is a sign of storm. If you hear the curlew calling it is a sign of rain.
