    When you hear the crickets singing loudly, it is the sign of rain.
    When the smoke beats back down the chimney it is the sign of rain.
    When the wind is coming from the east it is the sign of rain.
    When you see the sky red in the east in the morning it is the sign of rain.
    Wind
    When you see the crows flying in all directions it is the sign of wind.
    Good Weather
    When you see the crows flying high in the evening, the next day will be fine.
    If you see the swallows flying high it is the sign of good weather.
    If you see the sun set red in the evening it is the sign of good weather.
