  1. There are a lot of signs for the weather.
    When the cat turns his back to the fire it is the sign of wet weather.
    When the goat comes into the yard for shelter it is the sign of a storm.
    When the frog turns yellow it it the sign of fine weather. When the frog turns black it is the sign of wet weather.
    When we see a rainbow it is the sign of wet weather also.
