- (continued from previous page)A rainbow in the morning,
Is a shepherd’s warning,
A rainbow at night,
Is a shepherd’s delight.
It is said about here that the south wind brings the most rain.
When there is going to be a storm you see the robin flying about the bottom of a tree. It is also said that when you see the seagulls flying towards the hills it is a sign of bad weather.
When you see the pigeons flying about the house it is said that there is going to be a week's rain.
If you see the reek going up straight there is going to be very cold weather and there is going to be frost.
When there is a blue colour in the fire it is a sign of wet weather or there is going to be very cold weather and frost.
