    If the sky is red it is a sign of thunder and lightning.
    When we see swans flying we know rain will soon come.
    If the sun sets behind a cloud it is a sign of rain.
    A moon glittering is not a good sign of the weather.
    when there are many stars in the sky it is a sign of frost.
    The crickets sing when rain is near.
    When the train has a loud noise we know that fine weather is nigh.
