- (continued from previous page)If a cat tears at wood it is a sign of rain
An abundance of haws in Autumn betoken a snowy winter
Fog up over the Slieve Beagh Mountains is a sign of rain
A Black North and a clear south means heavy rain.
(A clear South (sky) and a dark North)
A clear North sky and a dark South means that rain will soon stop and the evening will be fine
If cockroaches cross the road it will rain shortly.
If the cat washes her face in front of the fire the rain is near.
A rainbow in the morning is a bad sign of the weather
A rainbow at night is a good sign
