- When the floor damp people say it is the sign of good weather.
When the smoke goes up straight from the chimney it is a sign of good weather. When it goes slant it is a sign of rain.
The flying sea-gulls inland is a sign of rain.
A blue flame in the fire is the sign of rain.
The falling of soot is also a sign rain.
The singing of a thrush on the top branches of a tree it is a sign of good weather.
If the sun goes down red in the evening it is a sign that the next day will be good.
If a hill seems near and a fog on its top the people say that day will end in rain.
