- When swallows fly low we may expect rain, also when the flags of the kitchen floor are damp, when the moon lies on her back, when seagulls fly low, when soot falls down the chimney, when curlews cry or when the cat sits with its back to the fire.
- Ants are also believed to be a sign of wet weather, particularly if they fly low.
