    Signs of Storm
    The clouds in the sky are very red all round.
    There is noise along the hills also.
    Signs of fine Weather
    "Ceo ar Mhuisire, agus Cláireach lom sé an cómhartha sonainne is fearr ar Domhan."
    When the wind changes from the north west to the North east it is a sign of fine weather.
    When the hills appear far away it is a good sign.
    When the smoke goes up into the air.
    Signs of Bad Weather.
    When the wind blows from the west.
    When the smoke turns towards the ground.
    When the Curloons scream
    When a flood goes down quickly there is another flood coming.
    If geese fly rain is near.
