Howth.If the smoke from the chimneys blows to the sea it is the sign of wind.When rain is coming to Howth we can tell it by the soot falling down the chimneys.If the sea gets a greyish colour, it is a sign of bad weather.Mr John McCann,
Church St,
Howth - When the sky is covered with heavy clouds, and the sun is just visible through a watery-looking cloud, rain is not far off. When the curlews are crying it is the sign of bad weather."If wind comes before rain,
Soon you may make sail again,
If rain comes before wind,
Haul your sheets, and braces mind."Mr T. Redmond,
