- When the cat has his back turned to the fire it is a sign of frost
When there is a ring around the moon it is a sign of rain
When the curlews are screeching in the evening it is a sign of rain
When the wind is whistling in the keyhole it is a sign of rain
When a flock of peewits are seen together it is a sign of dry weather
When a dog is eating grass it is a sign of rain
When the smoke is tipping the ground it is a sign of rain
