- If the sun goes down like a red golden ball it denotes that the next day will be a warm one.
When the moon rises brightly the next day will be fine. When the halo is near the moon a storm is far away. If the halo is far away from the moon the storm is near. If the moon appears lying on its back with its horns sticking up severe weather may be expected.
When the sky is clothed with heavy dark clouds rain is certain.
When tiny clouds or scud are seen floating over the sky a large rain cloud is near.The old proverb says. "When Howth puts on its cap let all Fingal beware of that.
