   The sun, moon stars, clouds and rain-bows give signs with regards to the weather. When the sun goes down red in the evening it is a sign of rain. When there are streamers from it it denotes rain. When there is a ring round the moon it is a sign of storm. The weather generally gets good or bad with the change of the moon. There is a new moon every month and it changes every week.
