- Some of the beliefs with regard to the weather are as follows:-
1. If St. Swithin's day happens to be wet it is believed that the following forty days will be wet and if it is fine the weather will last for fort days.
2. If fog is seen on the hills and if it rises up it is a sign of very good weather, and if it keeps down the hill the weather will be wet.
3. If a pale red colour is seen in the south easterly sky in the morning it is a bad sign of the day.
If the sun goes down with a red colour it is a good sign for the following day.
4. If a halo is seen around the moon it means bad weather to follow.
5. If the stars shine brightly it is a sign of frosty weather.
6. Heavy white clouds are a sign of broken weather.(continues on next page)
