“An ghaoth aniar bíonn sí fíal is cuireann sí iasc ar líonta.”
(continued from previous page)To see the red ants creeping on the top of the ground is a sure sign of rain.
To hear the trúmpalán buzzing at night-fall is for dry weather.If the crickets are calling at night it is for rain.The smoke coming down the chimney, it is a sign of rain.
When the midges are very plentiful in the evening it is a sign of rain.
