  1. In this part of the county the people know by the sun, moon, and stars what kind of weather we are going to have.
    In winter when the wind blows from the south-west it is a sign of wet weather and if it is blowing from the east it is a sign of dry cold weather. The wind that brings most rain to this district is south-west wind.
