   Blue blazes in the fire is a sign of rain.

   When the hens go under the bush expect rain.

   When you can hear the noise of the train clearly, rain is not far off.

   When the smoke goes straight up out of the chimney - good weather is near.
   When frogs are black, tis a sign of rain.
   When the cock crows on a rain day, expect a change.
   When the hens pick themselves, watch out for rain.
   When a sod of turf falls out of the fire, - a sign a visitor is coming.
