When two farmers meet they usually speak about the weather. They have signs from whichthey can foretell the kind of weather. Here are some: (1) When sea gulls come into the land it is a sign of rain (2) If the sun is red when setting it is a sign of fine weather. (3) If the sky is blue by night and the stars sparkling it is a sign of frost (4) When the sky is very black it is the sign of a storm. (5) When the spider creeps from his web it is a sign of rain. (6) When the flies are near the earth it is a sign of rain. (7) If soot is falling it is a sign of rain. (8) If the curlews fly high it is an indication of soft weather.Patricia Lysaght
