- When a ring is seen around the moon at night it is the sign of rain.
When the sky is black and cloudy it is the sign of rain.
When wild geese fly south it is the sign of snow.
If you see a dog lying by the fire in Summer it is the sign of thunder.
When the swallows fly low it is the sign of rain and when they fly high it is the sign of fine weather.
The sea roars at the sign of rain.
When a fog comes down the hill it is the sign of rain and when it goes up the hill, it is a sign of good weather.
