  1. Good weather.
    If there are no clouds on the moon. If a rainbow is seen in the evening.
    If the sky is a blue colour.
    When the mountains look far away.
    When the water in the river is a bright blue colour.
    If swallows fly high in Summer.
    When there is a white mist over the river.
    When the smoke from a chimney goes straight up into the air.
    If the robin sings on the tops branch of a tree in the morning.
    If the sky is red it is the sign of big wind.
