- When the sun is shining very brightly in the morning the people say that we are near good weather.
When the stars are shining very brightly in the morning we are near frost. When the clouds are running very fast over the sky we are near rain, a rainbow in the morning is the sailor's warning; a rainbow in the night is the shepherd's delight.
The west wind
bring's the most rain to our district. The sheep come down from the hill when a storm is near.
When the flying
ants are on the road it is the sign of rain.
