    If we look into the fire at night and see a blue blaze we are going to have storm.
    Clouds moving quickly across the sky are a sign of rain.
    Coppery clouds at sunset are a sign of rain.
    If the new moon looks very straight we are to have frost.
    When we see a Mackerel sky we are going to have rain.
    If you see a rainbow, you may be sure of showery weather. The old saying is "A Rainbow in the morning is a shepherd's warning, A Rainbow at night is a shepherd's delight."
    If the sky is red when the sun is setting, it indicates that the following day will be good.
