- The following are signs of rain:-
The swallows flying low.
The spider coming out of his web.
The cat washing behind its ears.
The dog eating grass.
The sheep going to shelter.
The sky black and cloudy.
A sheen on the rocks.
The hills seeming near.
The ducks quacking loudly.
The dust blowing towards the north.
The smoke blowing up straight means good weather.
A blue blaze in the fire is also a sign of rain and the soot falling down the chimney.
The signs of a storm are:-
The wild geese coming inland
The swans moving from one place to another.
