    There are many beliefs with regard to the weather. It is said that a rainbow in the evening is the sign of fine weather and a rainbow in the morning is the sign of bad weather. There are also other beliefs with regard to wind which comes from East is the sign of bad weather. If a cat turns his back to the fire or if a dog eats grass, also, if birds fly low and if we get a moon at the end of a week is the sign of bad weather.
