    People in this locality say when you see the waves dashing up against Broom Hill which is on the Wexford coast of the River Suir it is then a sign of bad weather approaching.
    When you see a circle around the moon it is is a sign of rain.
    When you see a great crop of wild fruit it is a sign of a bad winter.
    It is a sign of stormy weather when you hear the Bell Buoy ringing. The Bell is one of the navigation buoys in the River Suir between Passage East and Dunmore below Duncannon and has a large bell attached to it.
    It is also a sign of stormy weather to see a flock of crows tumbling on the ground.
    It is a sign of a gale of wind to see cats rushing up and down the stairs.
