  1. (continued from previous page)
    storms come when it blows from the west. But in Summer the air is clear and invigorating with soft westerly breezes. The east wind is sharp and piercing and brings snow in winter, and the little breezes from the north bring sleet and frost. White horses are seen on the sea before broken weather but when the sea becomes calm and placid fine weather may be expected. Barometers are nearly always correct as weather indicators. When frogs have a yellow colour, fine weather is expected.
