    dust rising off the roads are an indication of rain.
    If the water is a muddy colour in the sea rain is expected. It is said, when salt is wet we'll have a change in the weather.
    Ciarogs are the sign of bad weather. Spiders creep from their webs when rain is not far off.
    If the smoke is going up straight from a chimney or a mill fine weather is expected.
