- (continued from previous page)The weather for the twelve months of the year is judged by the twelve days after Christmas.
If the water in the river is black or if there is a loud noise from the falls it is a sign of rain.
If the rain rises on St. Swithin's bay provisions will be dearer and if it falls provisions will be cheaper. - If the soot falls from the chimney it is a sign of rain.
When the sky is red in the evening it is a sign of frost.
When seaweed is dry and hard it is the sign of dry weather but if it gets damp it is the sign of rain.- Collector
