- When the sun gets pale, it is the sign of rain
When there is a circle round the moon, it is the sign of rain
Stars glittering, is the sign of frost.
Stars shooting, is the sign of rain.
When clouds are dark, it is the sign of rain
When the wind is in the South, is a sign of heavy rain
Sheep lying down, is the sign of fine weather
If a frog changes its coat from green to rust colour, is the sign of rain.
When the sky is red, its the sign of fine weather
When the smoke goes up straight, its sign of fine weather.(continues on next page)- Informant
