- South west wind brings most rain to this district. North east and east wind bring all diseases.
If the clouds are in ropes and narrow that is a sign of rain.
Fleecy clouds coming in rolls foretell rain.
If the crow flies low over the fence in the morning it means rain and if high it is an omen of bright weather.

The cat wipes his face at the fire.
The dog eats grass.
The cricket sings very sharp.
The duck quacks and the peacock cries.
The distant hills are looking nigh.
If the clouds are red in the morning it predicts a storm and bad weather.
If the fog in Muisire comes north in an arm shape and goes back up the mountain it means rain.(continues on next page)
