    Sun. If the sun goes down in a bank of clouds rain may be expected.
    If a haziness in the air shades the sun light, or at night if the moon and the stars grow dim and a ring encircles the form rain will follow.
    Moon. If the moon looks pale or dim we expect rain, if red, wind, and if her natural colour with a clear sky, fair weather.
    Rainbow. If we see a rainbow it is for unsettled weather.
