- 1. If you see rays down from the sun, it is the sign of rain.
2. When you see the small bright threads on the wall outside, or on the ground, it is the sign of rain.
3. If the sheep go grazing as soon as they awaken, it is a sign that the day will be bad, for they want to have enough eaten before the bad weather begins. And if they are seen lying in the field in the early morning it is a sign that the day will be fine.
4. When there is a fog on Slate Hill, it is the sign of wet weather.
