    When the ants fly low it is the sign of rain.
    Fog with old moon is another sign of rain.
    A half drowned moon is the sign of rain.
    When the sea is rough and wild, it is the sign of rain.
    When the weather is bad, the frog is of a dark colour: when it is fine he is of a yellow colour.
