- When the sun shines on the rocks, it is a sign of showery weather
When there are openings in the sky at night it is the sign of a storm.
When the crane leaves the shore and goes to the hill there is going to be rain.
When the weasels run about it means a coming storm
When the morning is grey and the evening red the next day is going to be good.
If the smoke goes up straight in the evening. the next three days are going to be good.
When the frogs are out at night there is going to be lain.
When the hens stay out late in the evening it is going to be a bad day the next day
When there is a frog on the hill there is going to be rain.
When it is raining and the stars shining it is the sign of a storm.
When there is fog on the shore it is for good weather.
