- The sky to be yellow and the sun to be dazzling at sunset is the sign of rain.
A rainbow at night
Is a Shepherds delight.
A rainbow in the morning
Is a shepherds warning
When the seagulls are seen hovering overhead is a sign that there is a storm at sea.
A rainbow is the sign of rain
When the sky is dark and cloudy it is the sign of rain. When the sky is clear and bright it is a sign of good weather. To see floods abait quickly is a sign of rain. To see a number of while clouds in the sky is s sign of bad weather.- Collector
