- If the sky is red in the east at morning that is a sign of rain.
If there is a halo round the moon, that is a sign of rain. If there is a rainbow at morning that is a sign of rain. If the wind moves south it is good. If the seagulls fly inland that is a bad sign. If it is raining and if the cock crows that is a good sign. If a dog eats grass that is a bad sign, or if a cat washes his face under the stove. If the pismire gets wings, and goes flying that is a bad sign. If the dust is flying around that is a bad sign. When the smoke goes up straight that is a good sign.
