    regard to fine weather were smoke ascending perpendicularly into the sky, a clear sky and a fog rising out of the river. Insects resting on windows by night were taken as another sign of fine weather.
    Dust on the road was a sign of approaching storm. Sea gulls flying inland was a sign of stormy weather at sea.
