    The Clouds
    If black and hanging low in the heavens, sign of rain. If moving quickly accross the sky also sign of rain but not very heavy rain.
    Strata of clouds at different altitudes moving in opposite directions, a very sure sign people think of bad and stormy weather to come.
    Light grey clouds in parallel lined called (Mackerel Sky) a sign of bad weather also.
    Clouds if not too heavy moving steadily in the same direction thought to be a sign of fine weather for a period of some days but to be followed by a period of stormy weather
    The Wind -
    Sea breeze by day land breeze by night.
