    When the crows are noisy it is a sign of rain.
    When the sky is clear it is a sign of stormy weather.
    When the cat turns his back to the fire it is a sign of cold weather.
    South winds are the sign of rain.
    When there is a fog over Tallow Hill it is a sign of rain.
    When the smoke goes up straight it is a sign of rain.
