  1. Signs of Dry Weather

    Share Share Post
    When the robin sings on the top of a bush it is a sign of dry weather.When a haze comes over the river it is a sign of dry weather. A redness in the sky in the evening is a sign of dry weather. When we see the swallows flying high in the sky it is a sign of dry weather. When we see the frogs of a yellow colour it is a sign of dry weather. When there are very few clouds in the sky it is a sign of dry weather. When the sheep scatter through the mountains it is a sign of dry weather.
