    Share Share Post
    A star travelling in a straight line before the moon is a sign of storm.
    A far off ring around the moon is a sign of a near hand storm.
    A black cloud across the sun before sunset is a sign of a storm within twenty-four hours.
    A rainbow in the East is a sign of good weather.
    If the crane leaves the sea and goes inland rain is sure to follow.
    Crows fly high when a storm is approaching.
