- (continued from previous page)If the flies are out very thickly in the evenings rain is also expected and when they start to come into the house cold weather is expected.
During the day if the hens run to their houses it is a sure sign of a heavy shower. Also if dogs turn away from their food ad eat grass or if cats sit with their backs to the fire rain is expected.
If a fog is seen in the evenings rising over the river it is a sign of good weather.
