    It is said that if the water in the rivers rise on the 12th night, the 6th of January, prices of foodstuffs will rise during the year. When distant hills look near it is a sign for rain.
    It is said that when the seaguls come inland and make strange cries that we will have storm.
    When the crows fly low it is a sign for rain.
    When big black clouds come in the sky after a bright morning we will have thunder.
