- In fine weather the sky is very clear, and the sun sets like a ball of fire.
In wet weather the sky is coverd with clouds, and the sun set is pale.
The moon is very clear in fine weather, and it has a circle round it in rain. A rainbow in the morning is the sign of rain, and a rainbow in the evening is the sign of fine weather.
Whe theswallows fly low it is the sign of wet weather and when they fly high it is the sign of fine weather.
When the crows fly downwards it is the sign of rain.
The seagulls fly inland when rain is coming and the sea roars.
