- (continued from previous page)red clouds in the west at sunset; dust on the roadway indicates fine weather; when the sun goes down red; when the swan goes back to the north.
Signs of Frost: When the sun goes down red in winter; many stars in sky in winter and appearing very bright.
Signs of Storm When sheep and goats come down from the hills.
When the cat sits with his back to the fire; When sea-birds assemble on the land; when cats scrape timber.
The north wind brings frost; the east wind brings cold weather - the south wind brings rain to this district.
