  1. The clouds seem to be near is a sign of rain. The dog eating grass is a sign of rain. The cat sits near the fire and the crows fly low is a sign of rain. A ring round the the moon. The seaguls resting on the land are signs of rain.
    When the train is heard a long way off is a sign of frost. When Wild Geese are heard people say we are nearing rain. Ní imthigheann ceo sean-gheallaighe le tart ná ocras
