    moon the nearer we are to rain. In the evening if the sun sets in a black cloud it is going to rain. If it goes down bright it will be fine.In the morning when the sun rises,if there is a red sky around it. there will be wind. If the ducks quack it will rain. If the sheep lie together in the morning it will be fine. If they are up early in the morning grazing it will rain. If the swallows fly low and the curlews whistle it will rain. If the glow worm comes to the surface it will also rain.
