- The following list are the local signs of good weather.1. A bright blue sky or what we call a makerel sky indicates good weather.
2. A red sunset speaks well for the day following.
3. When the moon and the stars are bright and sparkling in a bluish sky we expect frost on that night.
4. When the clouds are bright and high it's a good sign of the weather.
5. When the hills appear distant and of a purple hue it is another good sign.
