Signs of bad weather.When the ducks quack in the yard.
When the soot falls.
When the smoke comes out around the house.
Fog on the hills
There is a big fall in the Corra river called called the Assnas, when this roars.
The deepest hole in the Assnas is called the "Cradle Hole when the birds bath in this it is a sign of rain.
When the cattle gather in about a sheltery fence.
When the crows gather in together
When the crows perch on a fence.
When there is a ring around the moon.It is said that when the ring is near the moon the rain is near ,when the ring is far out ,the rain is far away.
When black clouds are seen.
When the crickets chirp.
When the goats do not go to the top of the hill .
When the people feel lazy and tired.
When the cat turns his back to the fire.
When the lake is black.
