- When the moon is pale it warns bad weather. When there is a bright ring around the moon it is a sign of bad weather. Another sign of bad weather is when the clouds pass the moon quickly.
Signs of rain: 1. When soot falls off the chimney. 2. When the cat sits with his back to the fire. 3. When a blue light is showing in the fire by night. 4. When the curlew whistles. 5. When the tide is roaming towards the west. 6. When the wild birds leave the shore and come inland. 7. When the swallow flies low.
