Swallows and crows fly very lowly when rain is near. Goats, geese, and peacocks, roar in thundery weather
Hills always look near when it is going to rain. A lot of dust can be seen rising off the roads when rain is near.
A large quantity of insects can be seen when rain is near. Smoke always goes down to the ground when rain is near.
